One of my favorite things about THE DANCE OF INTIMACY is the author's emphasis on moving at your own pace. She says again and again that it's okay to go slowly, it's okay to work on your problems at your own speed. As someone who does things slowly, this is very important to me.

I also love how she goes into how families impact your relationships. I never considered that the way that my mother behaved could be influencing how I interact with my partner. This is an amazing book, and everyone should read it.
