“We live in a world of deaf ears, isolated silos, and grotesque caricature. For democracy to survive, we need to find ways to listen deeply, see others’ points of view, respect differences, and generate creative dialogue...Real Dialogue has implications that extend far beyond couple therapy.” ”
— Prof Jeremy Holmes MD, University of Exeter, UK

“Drs. Pieniadz and Young-Eisendrath are on the pioneering edge with their elegant and highly effective model of Dialogue Therapy and Real Dialogue. As someone who has worked for years to help heal the broken-hearted and offers hope to those who steadfastly believe in love despite their many bumps and bruises along the way, I’m thrilled to discover this graceful, heartfelt, compellingly simple, yet brilliantly deep work to awaken our ability to grow greater levels of compassion and care between us. These two superb luminaries are my new relationship gurus.”

Pay Attention to Awakening

stop polarization, get closer, and end war.

Our awakenings through spiritual enlightenment, psychedelics, and near death experiences all teach us the same things: we are not separate, we are not solo. We need each other in order to know ourselves and yet, we rarely agree about our perceptions, beliefs, or the truth. We cannot find our truths alone. We are too one-sided and limited. We need our sisters and brothers to discover whether we are accumulating wisdom or delusion, every step of the way. Pay Attention in Relationships will teach you how to follow the rich and winding path that unfolds in your life/death every day.

I am very happy you have found my work and are in my community. I have developed a body of work that is the product of many decades of inquiry, teaching, writing, psychotherapy, and Buddhist practice. In these past five years, I have been expanding my reach through a free podcast, YouTube interviews, and online courses, many of which have been offered for free. I am asking now for your support for my work.

What inspires me is my belief in the power of transformative conflict. Meaningful conflict (at home, at work, and in the world) is the fire that drives a deeper love. We yearn to embrace our differences and see things through a new lens. By humanizing our conflicts, finding out about the “other side,” we deepen our engagement with the Golden Rule and discover what we can’t know alone. This is the work of Real Dialogue.

I look forward to meeting you. I hope my work supports you. I know that human life is imperfect and impermanent. I wish you greater ease, peace, and comfort through practicing Real Dialogue. Through it we can stop polarization, get closer, and end war. Supporting my work supports those opportunities for others and yourself.
