Intelligent Love: We All Have Weak Links As a Partner So How Do We Begin to Heal

During this week’s Intelligent Love Office Hours, I look forward to giving some context to ways we attach in our adult, interpersonal relationships. These include several key areas that are wired into our unconscious and subconscious from a very young age. You may feel these ways of being when you’re in a budding relationship as a sensation that triggers you to protect your heart. And in turn, you may be calling the way you navigate in partnership your intuition – when in fact it may be that you’re leaning into a fear-based way of protecting yourself simply because it feels comfortable to you. Once we can more easily recognize our weak links in how we form attachments, we can then begin to make strides to heal our past wounds and more consistently navigate the waters of our relationships from a securely attached mindset.

I will address ways you can both learn about yourself and then be able to teach a new or existing partner how best to work with you, especially at times when you’re triggered. Until you know these patterns, you’ll likely not be able to recognize when your fears are in the driver’s seat. For your future happiness and the ability to co-create a thriving partnership, it’s important to learn how to deeply trust in love and that often starts by knowing with whom you can open and become vulnerable. When you’re in partnership with a loving and supportive individual, you’ll have a better container from which to do this discovery and course correction more swiftly than when you’re coasting on auto-pilot outside of a committed relationship.

Finding ways to identify the patterns, knowing how to course correct when the fear arises and then being able to ask a partner to use a pattern interrupt are solid big steps toward kicking those self-limiting beliefs to the curb. As you make conscious decisions to become more intelligent in the realm of love, you’ll open the floodgates to joyfully soar in partnership.

Join me, Joy Nordenstrom as I share some insights and ask some deep-dive questions so you can begin to see your own patterns. During tonight’s event, I look forward to hearing some of your stories and situations you’ve found yourself in as you’ve been in a relationship. Additionally, I'll be fielding any questions that come up. Whether you’re in a relationship or are single and dating, I have a feeling there will be valuable information you can glean from this Office Hours discussion, either for yourself or to share with someone you care about.

After seventeen years of studying the psychology, practical wisdom and science of what makes us tick when we're in an interpersonal relationship and through my experience in my own life and by working one-on-one with my clients, I have discovered many impactful steps to making intelligent decisions in the realm of love and dating. By tuning into the Intelligent Love Office Hours, if you're single, you'll begin to know yourself through a new lens of who you are as a partner and then learn how to choose who might make the best partner for the long run, not relying simply on the initial romantic chemistry but by having a clear vision through a larger lens of what fits with your unique relationship patterns. And if you're coupled already, you'll discover strategies to spike your "love drugs" and create more ease, harmony and magic memories as you continue to construct new levels of connection in your relationship.

What to expect?
Informal, informative, fun and interactive time together.

Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to be their personal best as a partner and then know how to co-create a thriving relationship together.

Feel free to submit questions or ideas for topics you'd like Joy to cover in this event or at future events.
