Listen Later

Navigating through the complexities of human relationships can be challenging, but understanding the fundamentals of attachment and human behavior can make a world of difference. On the latest episode of Get Yourself Optimized, I had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Stan Tatkin, a pioneer in attachment theory and the neurobiology of love. đŸ“»âœš

Dr. Stan Tatkin is a multi-talented psychologist who wears many hats - clinician, researcher, professor, and pioneering creator of an innovative approach to couples therapy rooted in psychobiology. As an assistant clinical professor at UCLA, he shares his expertise by training the next generation of mental health professionals. Alongside his wife Tracey, Tatkin co-founded the PACT Institute, dedicated to equipping therapists with a mind-body lens for clinical practice.

In this episode, Dr. Tatkin challenges popular beliefs around key indicators of marital trouble and explores the profound impact of emotional cues in relationships. From discussing the importance of a couple's special song to delving into the powerful concept of secure attachment, Dr. Tatkin provides valuable knowledge on cultivating enduring partnerships. He also shares his personal journey—from the music business to psychology and from an avoidant attachment style to secure functioning in his own marriage of 23 years. Tune in now and embark on a journey towards healthier, more rewarding relationships!
