What kind of animal are you? Are you a tiger or a turtle? How about a peacock? Maybe a little bit of everything? In Reconnecting, youll find out how your animal personality and your partners lie at the center of the conflicts that plague your relationship. These animals represent habits of behavior we use to defend ourselves and hide our insecurities in relationships. Understanding them and breaking the habits that are characteristic of your personality type are key to transforming your relationship from a constant series of struggles into a loving partnership.

Dr. Joseph Luciani explains how to put Self-Coaching to work to break these habits and make your relationship better, even if you must begin the process on your own with a reluctant partner. With clear, prescriptive advice and analyses as well as stories of Dr. Lucianis work with couples who successfully overcame bitter conflicts and developed loving committed relationships, this unique and invaluable resource is a powerful tool for anyone working through relationship issues.

To Karen:

When we first met on that frozen pond almost a half century

thirty-seven years of marriage and a lifetime of love, I feel
this book needs to be dedicated to you. And to us.

Acknowledgments

In writing this book, Ive looked to my own past relationships for guidance and inspiration. I owe a debt of gratitude to the following wonderful people for shaping my perceptions and understanding of love, intimacy, and lifes true meaning.

I begin with my patients and all the wonderful people who have joined my Self-Coaching community at www.self-coaching.net. I want to thank you, not only for your ongoing support, but for being the catalyst behind this project.

Id like to thank my agent, Jean Naggar, for her unwavering faith in me and my message. Jean was truly instrumental in encouraging me to undertake this project, my fourth book in my Self-Coaching series. Jeans guidance and friendship over the years have proven to be invaluable in my literary development. I feel fortunate to have worked with her and her talented, supportive, and wonderful staff, Jennifer Weltz, Alice Tasman, Mollie Glick, Jessica Regel, and Marika Josephson.

Special appreciation and thanks go to my editors at John Wiley & Sons, Tom Miller and Christel Winkler. From the very beginning, Tom has given me the confidence to believe that I can be a successful author. I know Im in good hands when working with Toms X-ray intuition and literary instincts and judgment. For Tom, taking a manuscript, tweaking it, and turning it into something truly inspired seems almost effortless.

Thank you, Tom, not only for being my mentor and friend, but for being such an essential part of my journey with John Wiley & Sons. And thank you for believing in this project.

Jane Rafal and I have worked together for many years. Jane was the first person to convince me that I could be a writer. Her unwavering support, encouragement, and friendship are major reasons why I go on authoring new books. Under her editorial tutelage, my writing skills have become more refined over the years, in spite of my initial misgivings. Her talents go far beyond merely offering sage editorial adviceshes my coach, friend, and mentor in all things related to writing. Most importantly, Jane is simply a wonderful person. I dont know what Id do without her.

Special thanks go to Justine Banas for her critical read-through of this project along with her ongoing suggestions and insightful feedback. Justines editorial talents and intuitive psychological understanding were pivotal to this books evolution. Justine has been a valuable resource, friend, cheerleader, and confidante in helping me see the forest for the trees (and then some).

Im humbled by the knowledge that my mother, who battled all odds this past year and decided to survive, will get to read this book. Thank you, Mom, for the lifetime of love youve given me. To my mother-in-law, Grandma Joan, thank you for letting me know that happiness is a choice. Youre an inspiration to us all. To my cousins Celeste Galdieri, Cathy Mangano, and Tom Carrino, I was never an only child with you guys around. Thank you for always believing in me and sharing my ambitions. To my wifes Girls Night crew, Eileen Tepe, Ginny Torre, cousin Celeste, and Maryann Hardy, thank you for allowing me to share some laughs with you every Monday night. To my brother-in-law Ron York and his wife, Pricilla, I want to thank you for always being excited for me and for my writing. Special thanks to Ron for helping me recharge my batteries at our Giants Stadium tailgates. Alex Locatelli, my lifelong friend, lawyer, college roommate, and confidantIm blessed to have such a loyal friendship. Warmest thanks to Alan and Nan Gettis, best friends to my wife and me, for the love, laughs, closeness, and support weve shared through so many unforgettable years and times. Very special thanks to Deborah Mengrone for all her valuable support, encouragement, and unwavering belief in this project. To my Sanibel cousins Stan (Beaver) and Lisa Stasi, thank you for all the sunsets weve shared, the many laughs, and your gracious hospitality. To Anne Baretta for always looking to spread the Self-Coaching word, but mostly for her valued loyalty and friendship. To my yoga instructor and dear friend Perinkulam Ramanathan, who continues to allow me to reach deeper into my life experiences. Ramas influence and loving heart permeate this entire project. Om Shanthi.

I would like to thank my cocreator of the M3 Lifestyle program (www.M3Lifestyle.com), Mohey Elsayed, for working with me to extend my psychology of empowerment to the fitness and health community. I would also like to thank Bill Herndon of One Source Media for including Dr. Joe as the on-site psychologist in the TV pilot Almost Famous. These experiences challenged me to develop a more evolved understanding of motivation, which Ive been able to use as a source of inspiration for this book.

My son, Justin, who is now involved in his burgeoning entrepreneurial business, www.wdezine.com and www.healthycommons.com, continues to amaze me with his creativity and determination. Justin has a great heart and a great mind; I see him as a courageous voyager seeking lifes adventures and discoveries. My daughter, Lauren, is about to begin her career as a schoolteacher. Laurens outward beauty is only a metaphor for the inner beauty, optimism, and passion that lie withinshe will captivate her students as much as she captivates me. Thank you, Lauren and Justin, for helping me understand how much love matters to me. You guys are my raison dtre.

Lastly, I turn to my wife, Karen. Theres a picture on my den wall of two teenagers holding hands, leaning up against an old Chevy parked in back of Fort Lee High School. Many years ago when that picture was taken, I knew somehow that our lives would inexorably be intertwined, then, now, and always. Im blessed to have had a lifetime to recognize the depths of our relationship. Who I am today is indistinguishable from who we are todaythank you for giving me a reason to write this book.

PART ONE

The Self-Coaching Phase Working without Your Partner

Can I Really Save My Relationship?

Becoming a Catalyst

Catalyst:an agent that causes change or action

Suffering without hope is intolerable. Sometimes after hours, in the quiet of my office, I can still hear the anguished voices:

Dont you realize that your need to watch porn every time we make love makes me feel so cheap? I feel rejected when you watch other women. Dont I turn you on anymore?

Stop pretending theres no problem. You cant even look at me anymore. It feels like were on different planets, different worlds apart ... What happened to us? Is it me? I just dont understand.

Youve become so nasty; youre not the person I married. I honestly think you hate me. I cant go on feeling this miserable.

How could you do this to me? How could you sleep with her? Obviously you have no respect for me or our relationship. Believe me, if I had a gun in my hand right now, I think I would use it on you! Or her!
