Welcome to Therapist Unsensored, a podcast where therapists freely speak their minds about real life math. Hi, this is Anne Kelly, and I'm here with one of my co-host, Marriott and today in our studio we have a special guest. His name is Dr. Stan Tacken. Dr. Tacken is a world-renowned expert in relationships. He has co-founded the Pact Institute, which stands for the

Psychobiological approach to couples therapy. Dr. Tacken teaches at UCLA and

maintains a private practice in Southern California. And he leads

leads packed trainings all over the United States as well as internationally.

And he has, from his wealth of knowledge in training therapist and treating couples, he has taken his extensive knowledge and written multiple books which we think our listeners will find very

interesting and informative. He's written wired for dating how understanding

neurobiology and attachment style can help you find your ideal mate.

He's also written Wired for Love.

And a more recent book called Your Brain on Love

at the Neurobiology of Healthy Relations relationships. You can also get that in an

audio form where Stan speaks directly to you. We often recommend that book in our practice.

And he's also co-authored a book. that book, Love and War in intimate relationships with Marion Solomon.

So Sue and I are very honored to have him here today as we interview and I think you'll find the interview

and discussions quite helpful.

So sit back and listen. Thanks for joining us.
