Forging Healthy Connections cover
We get sick, mentally and physically, without the emotional and physical security that flows from positive connections to other human beings.

“The incident in Atlanta in which emotional connection averted another school tragedy exemplifies a main message in Forging Healthy Connections,” said Trevor Crow, LMFT about the way Antionette Tuff, a bookkeeper at McNair Discovery Learning Academy, convinced a gunman to back down. Forging Healthy Connections (New Horizon Press, November 2012) is an upcoming book by Crow and co-author Maryann Karinch that features science and stories that illuminate why human beings require relationships to be healthy—physically, as well as in terms of social functioning. The book also examines how people biologically and neurologically combat serious illness with the help of strong relationships.
Crow notes, “From the moment of birth to the second we die, we need relationships. We get sick, mentally and physically, without the emotional and physical security that flows from positive connections to other human beings.”
In Forging Healthy Connections, Crow and Karinch explore strategies for setting up and maintaining secure personal connections in our professional and personal lives. They show how to build a healthy network of connections so we can create an emotional safe haven that directly and positively impacts our health. They examine why so many of us fail or lose relationships as we age, discuss the types of relationships we might be lacking, explore trust issues, explain the reciprocal effect and, most importantly, describe how to establish and practice empathy with friends, family and business associates.
