Cracking the Code of Love with Dr. Sue Johnson. A stimulating Podcast by the Knowledge Projectabout the things that keep relationships working. First, attachment styles, learning to develop secure attachments with your partner, or basically Trust. “Where are you,” is the implicit message asked in relationships when seeking connection due to emotional distress. The attunement by our partner to our emotional distresses, their availability to the requests for attention, and responding to those signals build trust. We crave connection. We want to know we are not alone, because we know the worst thing to feel is abandoned by those we love.

Second, the tools or the conversations we need to have in order to hear the cues of distress, and answer responsively. Individually based, yet are universal, Dr. Sue calls it “Hold Me Tight” conversations. These conversations are the process we attune, respond and connect to each other. Its the opportunity to do deep listening, and be courageous in the face vulnerability. Its hard, its difficult work, but deep meaningful conversations need to be had to prosper.

If you are having a difficult time communicating something, and need some help processing - Let’s chat. We can go through the conversation step by step. Its all in relationship, and through our conversations we can move our life forward.
