If you ever feel like you are drowning in the negative cycles of your own thoughts, this is the book for you. Alicia provides a detailed description of this debilitating phenomenon and an equally detailed description of the process of moving from rumination to engagement and connection. We recommend a careful reading and practice of the liberating processes.

Relationship rumination is an unrecognized issue and a major problem in couples therapy and this book gives a clear map to see a way through. Alicia Munoz's SLOW process is easy to follow and makes intimacy an adventure. Everyone contemplating a relationship should read this book and every therapist trying to help couples out of conflict and into a loving connection needs to know these exercises.

This tender, insightful, and well-written book will help you recognize and break the habit of overthinking—“the cheapest and most accessible mind-altering substance” there is. Alicia's profound practice of SLOW (seeing, labeling, opening, and welcoming) is a concrete tool to help couples reduce their anxiety by helping them understand their internal experiences rather than defending against them. This practice will transform your relationships and your own wellbeing.
Jillian Pransky

It’s so hard to accept that our thoughts about our partner are often neither true nor helpful. Blending research, practical advice, and case studies, Alicia Muñoz shows how you can deal with these blaming, worrying, doubting, controlling or self-pitying ruminations. She offers readers practical, inspiring guidance through the SLOW technique and other tools to enable them to reap the benefits of connection, healthy, boundaries and safety in love.
