Dr. Gail Brenner Podcast – What Relationships Teach Us About Ourselves

Dr. Gail Brenner talks with us about shifting from blaming our partners to a more powerful context, one in which we take responsibility for our own urges and feelings that come up in the context of relationship. We talk about: What is the power of pausing and being curious about what is coming up inside before taking the action of speaking to the other, and how do we do that? How does this help in terms of harmonizing relationships and using relationship as a mirror and vehicle for freedom from the habits and patterns that limit us? And how does this manifest outside our relationships? How does it help when we investigate these needs and feelings first, before putting them out into the relationship? How do we make friends with our fears?

Dr. Brenner is a psychologist with 17 years of experience offering psychotherapy and an avid blogger for aflourishinglife.com. In addition to writing, she meets with people individually and in groups to support them in gaining the insights they need to release mental and emotional patterns that distract from happiness, inner peace, and full creative expression.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Conscious Uncoupling, Conscious Coupling

With all the praise going to Gwyneth Paltrow’s conscious uncoupling shouldn’t the real focus be on conscious coupling?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of conscious uncoupling when both parties responsibly choose to end a relationship.

But what resources do we have for conscious coupling? There are some good books available, such as “Getting the Love You Want” and “Making Marriage Simple.” (I’m also fond of “New Earth Relationships,” but that may seem too self-serving.)

I’m also a big fan of couple’s therapy/marriage counseling. The problem is that most couples won’t explore this option until there is so much baggage, the chance of success is 20% for very responsible partners, and much less for everyone else.

The whole motivation for LovePong is to have an easy, gentle, loving way to couple consciously before you acquire the baggage. We all start out with our own baggage, and, unless we’re in the process of unloading, we keep taking on more.

Every partner needs to decide if you’re going to be in the business of packing or unpacking. If the former, you’re headed for the falls. If the latter, you need a regular practice. It’s not going to happen by itself.

That’s what LovePong is for. The premium version has the Conscious Couples Course. The idea behind this course is not only to support the relationship, but to support each partner in the relationship in unloading his/her own baggage – leveraging the loving support of the other.

While I have a personal attachment to your using LovePong, I have a bigger commitment to relationships. Use our tool, or use someone else’s. But don’t just wait and hope it will work out. If things aren’t getting better, they’re getting worse. Do something before it’s too late.
