She did, and Awesome Couple Communication is the outcome. And here is a description of the outcome (book): A spin-off of "Dr. Patt's" award-winning book,  The Marriage Whisperer ,  Awesome Couple Communication  presents In simple, jargon-free language and with clear examples,14 couples with communication challenges. Dr. Patt describes the source of the miscommunication and presents suggestions for other couples in similar circumstances to follow in moving from awful communication to the awesome communication level. Calling upon Emotional Intelligence Theory and her own "Pickett's Pyramid of Possi
