In this episode,  Therapist and relationship expert Todd Creager dives deep into what our parents (and society) never taught us about healthy love. 

Just like we take golf lessons to improve our swing or attend medical school to become doctors, shouldn't we learn how to create and maintain healthy Relationships? 

Drawing from my 40+ years of experience as a relationship expert, I share why most of us weren't taught the essential skills for lasting love and what we can do about it.

Key takeaways from this episode:

– Discover the three pillars of healthy love: repair, attunement, and curiosity – and how to implement them in your relationship

– Learn why conflict feels so unsafe and how to transform your connection to be stronger than your pain

– Understand how to express yourself authentically instead of just presenting what you think others want to see

– Find out why it's never too late to learn healthy love skills, regardless of your age or relationship history

Whether you're struggling with communication, feeling disconnected, or simply want to enhance your relationship, this episode provides practical insights to help you create the loving partnership you desire. 

Join me in making the world safer for healthy love – one relationship at a time.
