What is The No-No List?

As a licensed psychotherapist who has been happily married for 40 years, Venus Rouhani pulls from both scientific and personal experience to guide others towards healthy relationships. Every person has a different set of values and priorities and Venus encourages those looking for love to deeply understand themselves and the qualities they are looking for in a partner, as well as their trigger points for pain and disappointment, before diving into a new romance.

  • Why we often repeat bad relationships patterns
  • Why having things in common with a partner is not enough
  • How to see the warning signs of a bad relationship
  • Why we often rationalize the negatives in our partners
  • Why great chemistry with a partner sometimes explodes
  • How a No-No List can help you find the perfect partner

Although Venus recognizes that emotion plays a powerful role in the pursuit of a partner, her process emphasizes the triumph of pragmatism over chemistry, and advocates that awareness of undesirable qualities in a partner is much more vital than the pursuit of common interests. By using the head to guide the heart, Venus’s realistic, actionable advice empowers her readers and clients to embrace what makes them unique, to never feel shame about their needs, to take accountability for their choices, and to create fulfilling relationships.
