The Relational Intelligence® Model, Told as a Graphic Novel

“Your Brain Protected You. Let Me Explain.”

What if our brain weren’t our enemy, but a slightly overwhelmed guardian, programmed to survive at all costs?

Laura sees her life teetering under the weight of overwhelming fears and emotions that engulf her. Through her story, we discover how our experiences shape our nervous system and our relationships.

From attachment theory to insights from Polyvagal Theory, this graphic novel brings key concepts to life and makes them accessible: complex psychological trauma, the dialogue between the upper brain and the lower brain, and attachment styles.

Above all, it helps us understand how Relational Intelligence® Therapy enables profound transformation through the experience of inner safety, experienced within the therapeutic relationship. Because living it changes a life.

“There is something profoundly true about the title Lise Desportes chose: You’re not the problem. That’s what I want every reader to hear, and that’s the whole point of Relational Intelligence® (RI).” François Le Doze

Foreword by François Le Doze.
