Get Inside Your Relationships:
Tools and strategies for building attachments

Mary McMillan, MFT

Get Inside Your Relationships is a clear and readable workbook providing tools and strategies for people who want to build relationships that last, whether they are starting new relationships or improving existing ones. Rather than offering general advice or telling stories about other people, it gives readers a chance to identify their own habitual ways of connecting with others. With a gentle, direct, and engaging voice, Mary McMillan guides readers through the world of human relationships to discover the thoughts and beliefs that are determining their behavior, and to help them broaden their choices about how they relate to others. With diagrams and step-by-step instructions, readers will soon recognize their own relationship styles, and the styles of people around them. They will develop skills that keep secure relationships alive, and find tools for changing habits that damage good relationships. Based in the principles of attachment theory, this book is also useful to helping professionals.

People need a simple, clear and optimistic way of seeing—and solving—their problems. My goal was to provide a practical guide for people interested in building secure, durable relationships, and to offer hope to people experiencing trouble as well as the professionals who are helping them to cope.

Mary’s idea of “The Playground” presents a word picture that our foster and relative kinship care providers instantly see and connect with. Many have commented on how this concept has completely changed the way they look at communication and relationships. “The Playground” will impact all of your relationships, helping you to really see and honor the people in your life, including yourself!

Ms. McMillan has come up with a simple, yet very useful concept on how to make relationships work. Her idea of ‘The Playground’ struck me right away as the basic starting point of mutual respect when people need to work out issues together. I now use it in my work, and it has changed my approach towards that very difficult arena.
