Relationships are a major determinant of happiness, but we’re rarely taught how to navigate them successfully. We all experience friction in intimacy, so how can we heal from it and come closer? In this conversation, author of The 5 Personality Patterns, Steven Kessler and Ishita Sharma discuss how to create fulfilling, co-empowering relationships- the kind we all want, and need.
They dive deep into the stuff that actually changes relationships for the better- an uncommon, yet foundational understanding of relational dynamics- at the level of attention, energy and the language of the body.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT:
