Summary

Today we’ll be talking with Dr. Sue Johnson, ground-breaking researcher, author, clinical psychologist, and leading innovator in the field of couple therapy. She is the primary developer of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and the best-selling author of Hold Me Tight, and her latest book Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships.

Today we’re going to get down and dirty, talk about the tough stuff, what love is, what it isn’t, how to cultivate love, and what to do when love’s gone wrong. That plus survival of the nurtured over survival of the fittest, why attachments a GOOD thing, oxytocin, the cuddle hormone, why happy rats do the backstroke, and why we have things backwards when it comes to sex.

Well welcome to the show Sue, are you ready to shine?

Okay, before we dive right in, I’ve got to ask, is it great sex that builds strong relationships, or strong relationships that build great sex?

  13. What in the world is the Cuddle Hormone?
    1. Why you have a direct connection between sex and your nervous system
  14. Why adult love and attachment is really just an adult version of the bond between mother and child
  15. How a mountain becomes a molehill through love and attachment
  16. How Winston Churchill found true love and how that helped the world!
  17. Why we need others to give us safe haven and a secure base to go out from into the world – and how this makes us stronger!
    1. How this affects women with careers
  18. Why long-term relationships are the exception rather than the world – and what in the world we can do about it?
