It was never Deb’s intention to write a book, however, after the passing of her father, she was inspired to do so.
Deb was married at the age of twenty-one. She and her husband Raymond relocated their family from the hustle and bustle of a big city, living by the beach on the Gold Coast, Queensland, to the quietness of a small country town around fourteen years ago and never looked back.
Deb went along to many workshops on emotional healing facilitated by her father Graeme and his wife Gayle. The principles taught in this book are part of those workshops. They have been the foundation of Deb’s marriage, keeping it strong, even after thirty years. Deb’s the first one to say no one’s perfect and without these principles, their marriage may not have survived.
Deb’s main passion is supporting people as they heal past trauma. A few years ago, she discovered doTERRA Essential Oils. These essential oils and vitamins have supported her in many ways, including physically, mentally, and with emotional healing. She loves how these two passions combined actually support each other beautifully. Deb emphasises you must take personal responsibility for your own health and wellbeing, as what might be right for one person may not be right for another.
Deb is also a Reiki Master, practices in Aroma Touch Technique Treatments, Craniosacral Therapy, has a Diploma in Community Services Case Management, and loves supporting people with emotional healing.

Nothing is sustainable without effort and, with a relationship, often the time spent investing in it, and the other person, enhances and nurtures it. Over time people change, and so too does the nature of a relationship - they will grow and adapt, and sometimes such changes cause tension and strife. Relationships can be difficult at the best of times. There are few out there who get the pinnacle of Disney's happily ever after. Real relationships take work. They have ups and downs, hardships and rewards. The key is being able to move past the problems in a way which is both productive and progressive. What one person thinks is perfect could in fact be a source of unhappiness for the other. But issues left undiscussed and unresolved merely feed the downfall and failure of a relationship. Deborah Stenton's The Good, The Bad, The Relationship suggests several stages to help forge a successful, mutually rewarding relationship.
Deborah Stenton's The Good, The Bad, The Relationship is not only aimed at helping to promote and resolve issues within a current relationship, but is also a useful tool for self reflection, allowing a reader to critically assess their own attitudes, hold ups, and reasons for past relationship failures, and acknowledge how they contributed and take steps to ensure they don't self-sabotage, not only themselves but any of their relationships. It builds a foundation of understanding that can be applied to future relationships, or help save failing ones. It gives the reader power to take responsibility and work towards a better one. Best of all, with an occasional word tweak, the stages and advice can be moulded to encompass any type of relationship, not just a romantic one; in fact the author openly encourages it to be used this way. The presentation of this book makes it an easily accessible reference; it explains possible feelings and observations, asks questions, and makes suggestions. By using this guide it becomes easy to reflect upon and acknowledge our own failings, and move away from laying blame and other non-progressive responses and attitudes. Deborah Stenton makes a lot of sense, and I can see this work making a difference to those who find themselves reading it.
