In part 2 of 5 (of Episode 12), Terry Anne elaborates on communication from Chapter 3 of the brand new book "Intimacy in Alcoholic Relationships" (B-33). She explains how she has used this book in her personal life in recognizing and moving through old behaviors. We also discuss how labels and biases can hinder intimacy and that this book is an example of our evolving Al-Anon program.
QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM TERRY ANNE:
- "...it didn’t seem to matter if you were male or female, ideas that were traditionally masculine were sometimes held by women just as much as a female perspective could be held by a man and I really enjoyed that!"
