  Calling
in "The One": 7 Weeks to Attract
the Love of Your Life
by
Katherine Woodward Thomas
Psychotherapist Thomas's
warm-hearted "course" for the
lovelorn focuses on internal
change rather than a quest for
"the One," because, she says,
"There is a huge chasm between
wanting to find your ideal
partner and being truly
available... when he or she
appears." Each of the seven
weeks centers on a theme,
including preparing to let love
into one's life, letting go of
childhood wounds and loving
oneself. Thomas reinforces her
lessons with standard self-help
techniques, particularly
meditation and journaling. Her
feel-good-about-yourself message
gets much of its thrust from a
Christian perspective, though a
healthy dose of Buddhism and
Eastern religious traditions
spices things up. Atheists
should be able to navigate the
course as effectively as
believers, she says, though her
many references to God's role in
realizing one's romantic goals
may disprove this.
