All of us need pockets of Mastery, or what we call "rock star" moments, in order to give us energy, vitality and strength for the rest of the week. 
In the lockdown of Corona feeling such mastery is more challenging. 
In this video Galit and I explain the importance of finding mastery for yourself, celebrating mastery for your partner, normalizing non-mastery and leveraging the Corona reality in order to develop new masteries. Examples are given from our marriage and practical tips will help you cherish and realize mastery in your relationship.

In times of fear, uncertainty and pandemic, most couples are at risk for more conflict, trauam and pain. Couples that are isolated at home with young children are even more at risk for anger, burnout, despair and agression.
It is especially important in times like these for couples to cleave to 2 essential abilities:
1. Play.
2. Ownursh!t - full personal responsibility of one's shadow parts and negative behaviors.

In this special episode, Galit and Assael share from their theory and personal experiences to give you practical tools to embrace play and ownursh!t in these times.

We tend to expect others to be our best lovers.
This is a result of our upbringing and a lack of open communication about sensuality and sexuality.
In this talk I propose that you aspire to be your own best lover of all time. You first need to learn about your own enjoyment and how to please yourself. Then share that knowledge with your partner.
In this talk explain this concept through examples from my clinic and my life.
Practical tips are given on how to become your own best lover of all time!

As mortals, we fear death so we lie to ourselves and see the world as the same: Every day is like the previous day, and our work, family and kids are just the same as yesterday.
But the truth is: We're always one step behind life!
Every day is actually a brand new experience, filled with new interactions and possibilities.
We can either ignore this truth or we can open ourselves up to the exciting reality (and anxiety) that the new days bring!
Improvisation skills are the best tool to help us "catch up" with life.

In this talk, I explore this topic through examples from my personal and professional life.
Practical tips will help you be on the same page with life.

We tend to argue with our partner "what really happened".
Many hours are spent fighting over who said what, who was first, what actually happened.
But the truth is: "Who Cares?"
Unless you're a judge or a police officer, the facts don't matter in intimate relationships.

In this talk, I explain why the subjective experience of partners is much more important than the objective truth.
Examples are given from the clinic and my personal life.
Practical tips are shared on how to move from objective one up/one down, to subjective eye-level discussions.
