To meet the overwhelming requests for the Boot Camp treatment demonstrated on three recent Oprah shows, Dr. Stosny is pleased to repeat his highly successful group version.

Resentment, anger, and abuse are infections of the heart. They attack the very foundation of our humanity, which is our ability to form bonds of compassion and love with the most important persons in our lives. This Boot Camp approach to healing the heart is an intensive “psychosurgery.” Like physical surgery, it produces dramatic change in a short time. We cut out the infection, instead of treating it with a little bit of salve administered weekly over many months, as in traditional therapy, which sets you up for failure. Progress is painfully slow and tenuous. Even when longer treatments work, which is less than half the time, they take quite a while to show progress. Meanwhile, the suffering at home continues for months on end.

 

We call our intensive approach “Boot Camp,” because it is very much like basic training in the military. As a recruit, you undergo rigorous exercises that teach you to transform your emotions automatically. You build skills for dealing with anger and resentment that will hold under the stress of family conflicts. Doing all the exercises, and mastering HEALS, will eliminate most resentment and virtually all abusive impulses.

 

As many as one-third of all American women tiptoe through life as if they are walking on eggshells. At home, they spend most of their time trying to avoid criticism, anger, put-downs, or cold shoulders from their husbands or boyfriends. This verbal and emotional abuse can erupt over anything and everything, matters large and small: housework, cooking, work, spending money, buying household items and clothes for the kids, and going out. Clearly, verbal and emotional abuse is a serious problem. And the negative effects of walking on eggshells can persist for years and also hurt the children in the family. To resolve it involves getting rid of the resentment. Take the Walking on Eggshells Quiz

Relationship expert Dr. Steven Stosny has been featured on national media for the revolutionary techniques he uses in his CompassionPower and Boot Camp programs, which help men rewire their resentment and anger, stop using emotionally abusive language and behavior, and compassionately recommit to their marriages and families.

Drawing on his seventeen years of experience treating more than 4,500 clients, Dr. Stosny explains the many different forms a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship can take, and offers advice on:

• How to prevent resentment from turning into emotional abuse.
• How to identify abuse and change abusive behavior.
• How to determine if change is permanent.
• How to stop resentment from affecting your children.
• Actions to take if you are a resentful or angry partner.
