How to Start Over After Heartbreak or Divorce w/ Dr Stan Tatkin

Have you recently split up with a partner or are you considering it? This may well be the food for thought you need! Why are relationships so difficult? Why is separation so challenging? How long does it take to move on? Why can a break-up feel like the end of the world even though you know it’s not?!


These are some of the answers you’ll get questions to, from world-renowned marriage & family therapist Dr Stan Tatkin.


Dr Stan’s Tedx talk “Relationships are Hard, But Why?” has been viewed 2 million times. He is the author of many bestselling books including Wired for Love, We Do, Your Brain on Love and Love & War in Intimate Relationships. He is an assistant clinical professor at UCLA and maintains a private practice in Southern California.


He shares his own starting over story, separating from his first wife & finding love again.

And one of my massive takeaways was: There is a difference between ATTACHMENT and LOVE that we MUST know about!
