Dr. Amy Johnson is a coach, speaker, and author of several books including Being Human. Her work revolves around the basic truth that we are fundamentally content and peaceful by nature. Amy has been featured on The Steve Harvey Show and Oprah.com, as well as in The Wall Street Journal and Self Magazine.  Today we’re going to talk about separate realities in relationships—the idea that each of us is living in a world made of our own thoughts, beliefs, and opinions and that the world we see is very different than the world our partner sees.  An understanding of separate realities goes a very long way in reducing conflict and fostering compassion and understanding.
