Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT

Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT helps people recognize the power of communication.  It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities.  Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationship.  This is the hidden key to acceptance.  And this is her mission to share.

As a relationship expert, Dr. Heather Browne has worked with thousands of individuals and couples in psychotherapy.  She is a TedX Speaker and Keynote Speaker.  Her couple’s communication book, Speaking with the Heart: Transforming Your Relationship and Communication with Compassion and Connection, which offers readers a practical way to understand what it takes to truly communicate on a deeper level, not just with their partner, but within themselves, is now available in both paperback and Kindle.

. She is published in hundreds of journals, has an active YouTube channel, has been featured on ABC-7 news, was the relationship expert on KDOC Daybreak OC, and is published in Inc., Toronto Sun, Thriving Family Magazine,  Light + Life, BRAINZ, Scary Mommy, and Psychology Today.  She is a regular guest blogger for both Links for Shrinks and for Marriage Friendly Therapists. She offers a weekly newsletter packed with tips and techniques to improve Relationships and has monthly workshops! Simply go to her website!

PANIC ATTACK!!!! Have you had one? Many several?   I had never experienced one until shortly after my late husband died. Very quickly, I had two.

Where is my attention to be? And why did this rise up so huge?   The challenge with panic at…

Finding Your TribeIn last week's episode of EZ Conversations, I had a powerful discussion with Justin Nault (Listen Here). We explored his journey from becoming a musician and feeling performative to finding his true calling: guiding people to make better life choices. We talked about myths about eating nutritional food and making healthier choices and the more significant impact these choices can have. At the fundamental level, our discussion revolved around the Aristotelian notion that we are what we do. Making disciplined choices and doing them consistently results in habits that deter…

"Difficult conversations can make or break a connection. When you add preconceived notions, assumptions, and negative narratives to the mix, you create the perfect recipe for misunderstanding and disconnection.

Do you strive to be better than everyone else?   Most of us do a little of both, but at different times and in different places. And think about what this says to our view of our self? What do you say to you? "Okay, here you gotta tone down, hide that, don't be so much you, why can't you be more like Joe...." "Okay, so you can't be all of y ou at that meeting.

But before you do, take a couple minutes thanking you for where and how you came through for yourself this year. It might have been a really tough year. And you kept going. There is so much space to be proud of what you did do and how this year changed you. You are differen…
