Jungle Of Love: A Self Help Book for Your Marriage [Buy it]
A Fable that offers Relationship Advice and Marriage Counseling Tips
This entertaining fable about animals in the jungles of Africa offers innovative relationship advice. Dr. John J. Parrino applies what scientists know about mind-body interactions to help marital partners achieve health and happiness in their marriage. The Psychologist proposes an innovative idea: a lack of communication is not the only challenge facing couples. Love’s “silent killer” is the brain’s instinct to trigger stress and defensiveness during marital conflict.
In this story, a Tiger and a Giraffe are used to symbolize the fight and flight responses that are natural in all humans. These animals have opposing traits in the jungle, yet are irresistibly attracted to each other. Dr. Parrino tells his clients: “You know the honeymoon is over when the Tiger and Giraffe Behavior Pattern appears on the marital scene. Conflict escalates and the Tiger claws at the Giraffe for love, while the repressive, tall jungle creature runs for cover.”
The Psychologist offers numerous tips based on his twenty five years of combining stress management technology with marriage counseling. You will learn how to manage negative thoughts, relax defensive reactions and take positive actions in the midst of marital conflict. When you learn to conquer your impulse to fight (the Tiger) or flee (the Giraffe), you will tap a powerful reflex to reach out and reconnect with your partner.
This inspiring fable will take you on a personal safari through the Jungle of Love. Discover the Tiger, Giraffe and Elephant in your marriage and take charge of achieving greater communication, intimacy and romance.
The book combines the best in self help marriage counseling with a dose of jungle love.
