Today I`m joined by Linda Carroll, a therapist and couple`s coach with over 3 decades of experience. Linda is the author of Love Skills, and that`s exactly what we`ll talk about today: How to develop your love skills, whether you`re in a relationship, looking for one, or simply want to improve your friendships.

Max Out Insights:

We fall in love with the qualities that are different from ours. Ironically, those are also the things that might end up driving us nuts the most

The only person that can make you feel whole is you

People do better with a schedule

Learning to truly listen without an agenda other than wanting to understand is one of the most important skills you can ever develop

Accept each other`s feelings, even if they may seem irrational

Max Out Quotes:

“When we get stressed, things tend to be exaggerated.”

“What couples lack is not love. What they lack is skills to manage life under stress.”

“The one you`re looking for is you.”

“Real listening is when I put aside my story and my internal dialogue and really listen to who you are.”
