About this listen

Shift Out of Conflict and into Connection, Safety, and Intimacy

"Improve your brain, improve your relationships." That's what Stan Tatkin has learned from his leading-edge work as a researcher and couples therapist. In this complete audio learning program, he merges current insights from neurobiology and attachment theory to help you shift out of conflict and into deeper and more loving connections.

You'll first learn to identify attachment styles—patterns of intimacy that begin in the earliest years—both in yourself and in those around you. Then Tatkin guides you through his proven principles and practices for building enduring security and commitment between partners, family members, and others whom you love. Join him to explore:

The warring brain versus the loving brain
• When your brain's threat response is getting in the way of love
• How to avoid triggering fear and help your partner feel safe and secure
• Simple gestures and words to put out emotional fires
• The power of rituals to build trust and intimacy
• How to make your relationship a sanctuary, and more
Based upon key insights from neurobiology, attachment theory, and emotion regulation research, Your Brain on Love will show you how to change the way you relate with others and open the way to greater love and connection.

Highlights:

The neurobiology of mating—who we choose and why
• The neurobiology of commitment—building security, the foundation of a healthy relationship
• Anchor, Island, and Wave types: understanding your attachment style and those of others
• "Is it you or is it me?" Understanding how the attachment styles of others interact with your own.
• Experiencing healthy conflict through social contracts, ground rules, and awareness
• Creating a lifelong plan to continue deepening your relationships

This book is a must read. Very accessible for both men and women. This book literally saved my marriage. It has transformed my perceptions of my marriage, my partner and our problems, and given us strategies for how to resolve our problems. The strategies are clear, useable and delivered in a non-threatening way. The authors voice and tone is really pleasant to listen to. I would gift this book to every couple on their wedding day. I wish had read this 20 years ago.

A must read. A great wedding gift
