You don’t have to go to every argument you’re invited to.

We all argue, but understanding why can help you avoid some of those foot-in-your-mouth moments where you say something you know you’ll regret.

Therapist Jerry Manney shares his 35 years of clinical experience counseling individuals and families to help you understand why we argue and how to stop. You’ll learn how to replace heated conflicts with productive collaboration, whether you’re dealing with a restless child, a grumpy coworker, or your most intimate partner.

Jerry combines his professional expertise with scientifically-validated communication tools, the research of other professionals, and his many years of personal experience to deliver a practical and humorous guide.

With guided questions and plenty of opportunities to reflect in your own journal, you’ll get to practice using your new tools and techniques for healthier communication before applying them in your real-life interactions.

Humans are meant to work together, and it’s a lot more fun when we do.

Jerry Manney has counseled thousands of individuals and families over the past thirty-five years. He has written numerous articles on family distress, substance abuse, and communicating more effectively. He has also taught graduate and undergraduate courses and spoken at national conferences and colleges. While he has tried to help each of his clients, each of them has helped him discover and relearn countless insights. Originally from Passaic, New Jersey, ten miles from New York City, Jerry and his wife now live in a very small rural town in New England.
