—Master Devyn Stone, author of Why I Don't Own Them Yet... A practical guide to building an authority transfer dynamic and Executive Producer of THRIVE: The only virtual conference dedicated to the intersection of neurodivergence, mental health, and BDSM
"Sander writes clearly and compassionately, understanding how our pasts, our neurophysiology, our wants and needs, how we communicate, and the systems in which we live, all combine to influence the places we feel stuck in relationships of all kinds. Sander gives real world examples of how this complexity impacts people, and then follows with practical exercises to work through. We all exist in relationship to other humans, and we have all felt stuck. I recommend this book to anyone! "
