Gottman Love Lab | Carrie Cole M.Ed., LPC

Could there be anything more interesting than a “Love Lab”? I’m talking about a scientific study on LOVE. How cool is that? I know what you’re thinking….”Sign me up. I want to be part of it even if I don’t know what it is.” Let me tell you what this awesome lab is all about. It rose to fame when Malcolm Gladwell featured it in his wildly successful book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. The book is about people that are masters of a particular field at such a high level that they can see things that others miss in a very short amount of time. The claim to fame from the book Blink is that the “Love Lab” can predict in less than fifteen minutes whether a couple will stay together or divorce with a 90% accuracy. That is amazing! They are not shooting from the hip either. They are getting all kinds of data from the couples that goes far beyond what anyone else has ever done. The “Love Lab” is stepping up it’s game even more, taking it to a whole new level and we have one of the key people behind this huge step forward.

On today’s show we interview Carrie Cole. Carrie Cole is the Director of Research for The Gottman Institute and a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington. As a Certified Gottman Method Couples’ Therapist and a master trainer in Gottman Method Therapy, she teaches all levels of the Gottman Method Certification Program. She is a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas and an approved LPC Supervisor. She received her Master’s degree in Educational Psychology with a specialization in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994. She has over 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples on a wide range of issues including marital therapy, affair recovery, depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, eating disorders, parenting, trauma recovery, divorce recovery, and personality disorders. Carrie has also provided seminars on relationships, parenting and divorce recovery.

She is awesome and you’re going to love her. Let’s get started!

Gift of Forgiveness | Amy Chuang

She is the progeny of when East meets West, when Yin meets Yang. An avid lover of life and life’s forever student, Wei “Amy” Lu has been experimenting and refining the art of achieving peace and balance through her unique understanding of Eastern philosophy and Western learnings. At the age of thirteen, Wei and her family were among the first group of immigrants allowed to emigrate from Communist China on its new “Open Door” policy of the 1980’s. Wei’s parents were college professors who gained the rare opportunity of coming to the United States to further their higher education. Life was difficult, at first, with the entire family living on an eight-hundred-dollar student stipend, as well as facing an incredible language barrier and culture shock. These difficulties, however, did not deter the eighth grader as she treasured the blessing of being in the “land of opportunity.” In school, she adopted her American name “Amy” given by her ESL teacher. Amy studied diligently and learned the English language in three short months. As she advanced in school, she never forgot to be grateful for everything she had been given and always strove to do her best. She finished at the top of her graduating class and earned a full scholarship to Texas Tech University. After receiving a BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Amy worked for Motorola as an RF design Engineer for cell phone base stations. She is currently the senior product manager for an inorganic chemical company. Amy has been married for 23 years; she and her husband live in the DFW area and are the proud parents of two amazing young men. In her spare time, Amy enjoys learning modern medicine and traditional holistic healing. She has completed all pre-med classes at a local college. She is learning the Chinese traditional medicine of meridians and acupressure techniques as a complimentary therapy to promoting the body’s natural healing mechanisms. She is currently a certified Reiki practitioner. As a scientist and engineer, Amy finds the body’s subtle energy system of health and well-being both intriguing and powerful. Her YouTube channel “Mother Healer” is dedicated to sharing with others her knowledge of holistic healing insights. Through the years, Amy has realized her purpose in life is to “combine the best of East and West.” Her unique understanding and experiences from both traditional Asian and modern Western cultures are invaluable to establishing her world view. She proposes that the key to achieving satisfactory life experience is through the “Four Pillars of Joy and Freedom,” which are the pillars of Compassion, Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Love. In many ways, Amy is the embodiment of the remarkable union of opposite, yet complimentary forces: East and West; modern and traditional; Yin and Yang; solid science and intangible energy. She looks forward to sharing her knowledge and her light with others, as we are all ONE

As I have grown as a counselor, I feel a calling to help women en masse create a better life for themselves, this is where my signature Better Me, Better Life Program stemmed from. My counseling approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Individual, Family and Couples Counseling, as well as Group Therapy, with experience serving adolescents, adults, seniors, and individuals involved in the criminal justice system and community supervision.

Conscious Uncoupling | Katherine Woodward Thomas MA, MFT

They say breaking up is hard to do..... and it IS! The loss of a relationship can be completely devastating, gut wrenching and life changing. You may find yourself doing some good old fashioned crazy - I’m talking country music kind of crazy…. like following and unfollowing all of his exes on instagram….. considering your cooky cousin’s idea of sneaking into his room to put an app on his phone that tracks all of his communications and location starts to seem like…. eh….. maybe not that bad…. or maybe just the classic drive by his house and hide in his bushes for a couple of hours starts to seem like genuine concern for his well being (you know…. just to make sure he’s okay)..... you start to become someone you don't even recognize and frankly if your best friend told she was doing this, you might arrange an intervention- or at least a girl’s night out to get her mind off him.

We are truly wired to connect and the loss of love is the ultimate disconnection. What if there were a way to fully honor ourselves and the love we once had and fully heal and learn something to benefit future relationships? Wouldn't it be awesome if a therapist or somebody developed a game plan for that?

Guess what.... someone did! It is called Conscious Uncoupling and was made popular by Gweneth Paltrow and Chris Martin but it was developed by Katherine Woodward Thomas, a rockstar therapist and really cool person all around. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's hear about it from her. Let's Get Started!

And guess what- it's dazzling!!! New brain science has shown us the benefits of love and answered the age old question- is it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all? Are you on the edge of your seat???? Wanna know the answer? Of course you do! Take a listen to the this amazing interview we do with neuroscientist Bianca Acevedo!

Couples Addiction Recovery | Dr. Robert Navarra

I know this is a podcast but I want to do something that has never been done in podcast history. I’m going to ask you a question and I want you to raise your right hand if you agree and left hand if you disagree. I’m wearing my special VR headset right now that will allow me to see which hand you are holding up. Trust me I am a professional podcaster so please don’t try this at home. Ok….let’s try this out.

If you or a family member fell into the dark world of addiction that required going to rehabilitation, would you want your loved ones to be there to support you?

Remember raise your right hand for agree and left hand for disagree. Ok….I see the hands going up. Let me count them really quickly. Remember you can raise your left hand if you disagree. Raise em high! Ok… I’m looking… So NO left hands….huh. That’s interesting. It appears that everyone listening to me right now would rather have support from their friends or family to help them recover from addiction instead of facing this daunting task alone. That is fascinating that you all think that 100% because the way rehabilitation has worked for many years is to isolate people recovering from addiction from their friends and family. As my Dad would say, “That sounds Ass Backwards to me” and based on my very scientific survey I just did you also agree. Of course, it’s great that we all agree and we can create some awesome “Outrage Theater” but that doesn’t get much done. Lucky for us there is a big brained doctor that is fighting the fight to get rehabilitation centers to change with real data from the Gottman Institute (I love them) to support having loved ones play a supportive role in recovering from addiction. I want to introduce you to him right now.

Our guest today, Dr. Robert Navarra is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Master Addiction Counselor, and Certified Gottman Therapist and Master Trainer specializing in a relational approach to addiction recovery. Based on his research of over 15 years he created “Roadmap for the Journey: For Couples in Recovery”, a two-day research-based workshop designed for couples in early and long-term addiction recovery. Roadmap is a featured workshop at Betty Ford Hazelden’s line up of workshops in 2019 and 2020. Act now to attend his next workshop in Center City, Minnesota September 27-29! Roadmap provides tools and strategies for couples to integrate recovery in couple and family life. Private and small group intensive couple recovery workshops are also available. Most recently he has authored “Systemic Addiction Treatment in Couple and Family Therapy” and co-authored three articles with Dr. John Gottman on Gottman Method Therapy (GMT) for the Encyclopedia of Couple and Family Therapy. Additional publications include several book chapters on Gottman Method Therapy (GMT) with Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Gottman. Dr Navarra has also created and a one-day training in addiction assessment and treatment for therapists and counselors, “Couples and Addiction Recovery”. Coming soon, online training for professionals. See- I told you he was a big brained Doctor!
