"The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration." (Perl S. Buck) This quote by Perl S. Buck epitomizes the importance of relationships. She has written these wise words long before research has confirmed that without good relationships we will not grasp completely who we are, we will struggle with mental problems such as depression or anxiety, and we might even get physically ill. Most human suffering can be explained with the breakdown of relationships between people. Conflicts between countries, childhood abuse, domestic violence, bullying, human trafficking, and work-place conflicts all have in common that on some level the relationships between people lacked compassion, understanding, respect, appreciation, and tolerance. Millions of people get killed or harmed in wars and political conflicts. One in two married couples file for divorce, one in ten families struggle with domestic violence, and one in four women or one in six men experienced sexual abuse in their life. Caring is either withheld, given in distorted and abusive ways, painfully absent, or is replaced by hate and cruelty. My passion is to contribute to the world being a better place by working together with people towards healthy effective relationships.

The best way to learn about me and my services is through browsing through my two blogs. In the blog www.multiplevoices.com people will not only find information about the research I have done, but more so about my philosphy of interpersonal relationships that are based on mutual recognition. A lot of my knowledge and my worldview is also reflected in my blog www.gudrunfrerichs.com. Here I talk about more general issues that concern relationships and communication issue.
