Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Couples Cure Book
Prestell Askia · 2015
62/100
👎 Skip It
Prestell Askia brings real-world coaching credibility to this relationship framework, and the communication tools land with practical clarity. The frank sexuality chapter pushes this firmly into adults-only territory, and without a stronger independent critical trail it is hard to know whether the approach holds up beyond anecdote. Worth a look if you are a partnered adult seeking a candid, coach-voiced primer on intimacy and communication, but the evidence base is thin.
