Power of Attachment
more"I have yet to see a book explain the power of attachment in a way that draws the reader into the story of another. I couldn’t put it down. Few books take a reader into an experience where they can relate to and remember the information. This book accomplishes that." ~ Joshua Straub, Ph.D.Author, Safe House: How Emotional Safety is the Key to Raising Kids Who Live, Love, and Lead Well
Much Needed Message
"This special and unique combination of fiction and science offers a much-needed message about love and bonding. Written for the general public but also very informative to all couple therapists, the poignant love story of Ben and Claire will illuminate romantic connection for all that are lucky enough to read Emotional Connection." ~ Paul A. Aikin, Ph.D.
Preventing Emotional Distancing
"The book is a story from which every married couple can benefit. It tells a story of staying emotionally connected and preventing emotional distancing. It also tells a story of going through a love-crisis and coming out of it emotionally healthy, strong, and reconnected. Only then can a couple begin to live a life-long love affair together."more
The book is long overdue. Many marriages have struggled without the professional and personal insights of the Regiers." ~ Allan G. Hedberg, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist
Story, Science & Analysis makes sense of it all!
"I am really liking the book Emotional Connection! We had some hard times this week and we read the book out loud to each other, and a number of points really hit home. It's rare to find a book that's so well written and includes story, science, and analysis in it. I really appreciate it, and it makes what could be an otherwise complicated therapy process make so more sense. So, thank you for writing it!"

"It ought to be against the law to marry without passing this course!" ~ Peter E.more
Review of Emotional Connection Online Course
Emotional Connection Book - Engaging, Deeply Moving, Highly Informati
"Wow! As a Psychologist, I read a lot of books about therapy, but it’s rare that I come across one that keeps me up into the wee hours. Dr. Regier and his wife have written a remarkably engaging, deeply moving, and highly informative book that should be incredibly helpful to anyone eager to develop their romantic relationship, or any couple wanting to work through a betrayal and emerge stronger and truly connected. It also was very valuable to me, as an therapist who works one-on-one with emotion, in gaining an understanding of the rich couples approach of EFT. Highly recommended! - Dr. Rob Clayton"
A Must Read Marriage Book - Verified Amazon Reader
Couples
My wife and I have been married 30 years. Every year we read a book on marriage. This is the best one yet. The author boils relationships down to what all of us want and teaches how to get it. It’s an easy read that I couldn’t put down.
Saved My Marriage
Couples trying to start over
"This book is so well written and so insightful. It uses such a great combination of science and real world situations that make it incredibly easy to understand and relate to. My husband and I bought two copies and read them simultaneously. I can’t express enough how much this book helped us, I truly believe it saved our marriage. I think this is a must read for all couples. Both my mother and grandmother read it and agreed they wished they had read it during their marriages early on. So grateful to have found this." ~ Amazon Verified Purchase
