This series gives readers a way in from whichever side of a relationship they’re standing on: eight companion volumes, one per archetype- Puppy, Cat, Sheepdog, Hawk, Horse, Sea Turtle, Hummingbird, Hedgehog- each written from that pattern’s own interior logic first, then walked back out through how it actually experiences the other seven in daily contact. Every volume follows the same structure: the shame dynamics that built the pattern in the first place, a chapter-by-chapter account of how it reads (and misreads) each of the other archetypes, including how those dynamics play out over text and social media, and a strategies chapter that pairs a shift for the archetype itself with a shift for whoever loves them. Whether the reader recognizes themselves on the page or recognizes someone they live with, love, or work alongside, the series is built to make an invisible relational strategy visible enough to work with, not as a diagnosis, but as an adaptation that made sense once and can now be seen clearly enough to choose.

This collection gives readers a mirror they can hold up with someone else in the room: every possible pairing of the eight relational archetypes, laid out as the specific loop each combination tends to fall into and why. Each pairing gets the collision itself (what one animal does, what the other does back, and where the two moves lock together), five real-world versions of it…
This book gives clinicians a developmental lens for the moment when a client understands their patterns but still can’t shift them. Scott Conkright, Psy.D., lays out three developmental phases that shape how the body learns to read and manage feeling, the difference between affect and emotion, and why early relational scripts resist logic no matter how clearly…
A Feeling System That Actually Explains Itself gives readers the vocabulary the “regulate your nervous system” advice never provided: an experience-near account of what’s happening in the body when connection works and when it doesn’t. Drawing on Silvan Tomkins’ nine core affects, the book maps eight rules the feeling system runs automatically,…

This gives readers the missing vocabulary for something they already sense but can’t quite name: that feeling arrives in the body before the mind builds a story around it. Starting with the nine core affects that drive human experience, it walks through how a simple body reaction- a flinch, a held breath, a slouch- gets turned into a full emotional narrative, and how that narrative can
This gives readers a clean vocabulary for the biological signals every emotion is built from, before words, before interpretation, before you’ve decided what any of it means. Each of the nine affects gets its trigger, its felt purpose, and a single relational line that shows what it sounds like from the inside, from Interest-Excitement’s “tell me more” to…
The Blueprint: 5 Commitments and 12 Rules for Every Relationship gives couples the operating instructions most relationships are missing: a short, direct set of commitments (maximize the good, minimize the pile-up of the bad, speak honestly, name shame before it erodes connection, and protect emotional safety above all) paired with twelve concrete rules…
This gives readers a three-step way to catch a feeling before the mind turns it into a story: Curiosity, which pauses the rush to explain; Attention, which locates the feeling in the body before language takes over; and Tenderness, which lets the feeling complete instead of collapsing into self-judgment. Grounded in affect science and built for real moments…
