Episode Description for “Wired For Love “

In our pursuit for love, we are often not sure what constitutes healthy dating, and a healthy relationship.  In his books “Wired for Dating” and “Wired for Love” Stan Tatkin lays out simple but effective exercises and information to help couples improve their relationships.  By better understanding ourselves, and our partners’ needs, we can have a relationship that can make us feel secure, supported and happier.

Dr. Risk’s Thoughts

I have never met anyone who is not impacted by their relationships.  These dynamics are what make us human.  One journey, that can often take a lifetime, is fine tuning our ability to communicate with others, and improve these dynamics.  I personally feel this is a life long journey.  Dr. Tatkin’s book was recommended to me when I was between relationships and wanting to understand myself better.  By having this insight, it allowed me to have insight into my relationships and what I needed.
