  • 422: Mastering Relationship Skills with Dr. Stan Tatkin
    Sep 5 2024

    Could your relationship benefit from a deeper connection? Join us for a conversation with Dr. Stan Tatkin, co-founder of the PACT Institute and renowned for his psychobiological approach to couple therapy. We explore his inclusive approach to modern relationship structures. Dr. Tatkin reveals his secrets for maintaining excitement in long-term relationships and offers advice on living authentically, fostering self-love, and operating from your adult mindset.

    Ever wondered why you’re attracted to certain people? Dr. Tatkin explains the fascinating neurobiological roots behind our unconscious attraction to partners who mirror our emotional upbringing. We discuss the crucial role of presence, attention, and curiosity in sustaining intimacy beyond the initial spark.

    Discover how shared purpose and mutual protection are the cornerstones of a thriving partnership. Dr. Tatkin emphasizes the "couple bubble" concept, where mutual support and unwavering commitment are paramount. We explore the importance of aligning values, setting mutual goals, and maintaining a cooperative dynamic to ensure a fulfilling and sustainable relationship.

    In this episode, you will hear:
    • Deep dive into Dr. Tatkin's updated book, "Wired for Love"
    • The role of presence, attention, and curiosity in sustaining relationships
    • Exploring 'pillow talk' for deeper emotional bonds
    • Understanding unconscious partner attraction and its neurobiological roots
    • The significance of mutual goals, shared visions, and the "couple bubble"
    • Practical advice for building resilient and fulfilling long-term partnerships

Love hearing you and Grahams talks!

I love this show and have listened to EVERY episode ever made! Michelle has helped me through so many tough situations throughout my life! Thank you Michelle for guiding me to my adult chair! The adult chair has taught me how to fill a void that I have had in my life for so long. I use to be an angery person but through the adult chair I have found personal freedom from anger. The podcast did not take my anger away but it showed me how to be grounded in my adult chair and with that comes self control, freedom, and overall happiness in my life and in my relationships. I love when you and Graham do a podcast together by the way. Those podcast are really easy to apply to my relationship and give both perspectives of the relationship.
