Esther Perel

Use This Simple Trick To Heal & Deepen Your Relationships

TAPPING INTO ALL YOUR EMOTIONS TO SUCCEED IN RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships add a whole different layer to self-reflection and regulating emotions. It’s one thing to have your own feelings under control and managed, but we sometimes forget how relationships are adding an entirely different human being into such an intimate part of our lives. It’s no wonder they can be so tough!

Relationships are truly a mirror into your own thoughts and feelings – and if we don’t take the time to nurture them properly and tap into our full range of emotions, we run the risk of our relationships being even more challenging than they need to be.

Today, I’m sitting down with the one-and-only Esther Perel for a very special Part 2 of our most recent conversation. During the episode, Esther uncovers how sexuality is just one piece of eroticism, why humor and play are vital to any healthy relationship, and SO much more.

“Humor and play is possibility, possibility invites change, change invites healing." @EstherPerel
