How to Love Bravely with Dr. Alexandra Solomon

Dr. Alexandra Solomon is a love nerd, there's no denying it. She's dedicated her life to the pursuit of learning about love and teaching those around her how to love. She's a clinical psychologist, a professor who teaches the Marriage 101 class at Northwestern University, the author of my new favorite book, Loving Bravely, and so much more. This is a lovely and sincere conversation about vulnerability, boundaries, relational self-awareness, attachment theory, and so much more.  What you'll learn (or why you should care): • Why relational self-awareness is key to a healthy relationship • That reason that even therapists need therapists • The importance of boundaries  • Why we choose partners that trigger our old wounds Where to find Dr. Alexandra Solomon: Dr. Alexandra Solomon on the Web | http://www.dralexandrasolomon.com/ Dr. Alexandra Solomon's book, Loving Bravely: https://amzn.to/2XgVZdk Dr. Alexandra Solomon on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.alexandra.solomon Dr. Alexandra Solomon on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/dralexandrasolomon Mentioned on the podcast: Ester Perel's book: Mating in Captivity: https://amzn.to/2EeC99S Sue Johnson on Emotional Focused Therapy: http://drsuejohnson.com/emotionally-focused-therapy-2/what-is-eft/ Geneen Roth's book Women, Food, and God: https://amzn.to/2Ew4Bph Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. and Dialectical Behavior Therapy: https://behavioraltech.org/ Brene Brown on Shame and Vulnerability: https://brenebrown.com/ Imago Therapy - Getting The Love You Want: http://imagorelationships.org/ Find out more about The Love Drive here: https://thelovedrive.com
