The Book
Connection, Communication and Calling
Connecting the Dots: A Counselor's Toolbox for Better Relationships gathers the frameworks, metaphors and strategies that have worked in session and sets them down so anyone can use them.
At its center is the Human Element³: Connection, Communication and Calling. The book reads every relationship through these three, and gives the reader the templates to work with them, one dot at a time.
