— In this episode, Dr. Paola Lake discusses the topic of laying the foundation to find a healthy partnership in life. She is trained in both Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy and has come to understand what qualities are important to sustain a healthy vibrant relationship, but also what qualities are important to choose a partner who will be compatible and life enhancing. All too often people fall into patterns when seeking relationships which results in unfortunate repeated disappointment and heartache. As one psychologist, Dr. Larry Waterman, has said, "we spend more time considering what type of car we want, then what type of partnership we want." Our quest for a partnership may be driven by a need for companionship, fear of loneliness, or sexual attraction. However, without laying the groundwork to choose a right partner, we may be caught in repeated struggles and eventually become disillusioned about the prospect of finding a compatible partner. Dr. Lake provides some strategies and reflections as you open yourself up to considering a relationship.
