Receiving Love examines a common, often overlooked barrier in close relationships: the difficulty many people have accepting love. The book traces how early experiences of neglect or rejection shape adult habits of minimizing praise, refusing help, and blocking intimacy.

Drawing on the authors' work with Imago Relationship Therapy, the text combines clinical insight, personal examples, and step-by-step processes designed to shift self-rejection into openness. Practical exercises help partners notice defensive reactions, accept appreciation, and respond to affection with less fear and more presence.

Readers who want clearer emotional communication and closer bonds will find tools to rebuild trust, welcome compliments, and let supportive gestures actually land. The focus is on lasting change through awareness and practice.
