Podcasts about love cycles the five essential stages

Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) is a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship sage, and author of Love Skills: The Keys to Unlocking Lasting, Wholehearted Love and Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love. What We Discuss with Linda Carroll: Love is a feeling that comes and goes, but loving is a skill set you can improve with practice. Why most arguments are not really about what you think you're fighting about. Is communication in relationships overrated? What the Woodpecker Syndrome is and how to avoid it. "You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else" and other cultural stereotypes and clichés about relationships that are worth less than the Hallmark cards they were printed on. Why so many of us get locked into repeating relationship patterns that ultimately end messily. And much more...

Three Magic Words to Use in Your RelationshipAired Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM ESTFalling in love is never a straight line to “happily ever after.” Relationships go through seasons of change, renewal, darkness, and light. Therapist, Couples Coach and author of Love Skills and Love Cycles shares the 5 stages of lasting love, the three magic words to use when communicating with your partner and so much more.About the Guest: Linda CarrollLinda Carroll is the author of the recently released, Love Skills: The Keys to Unlocking Lasting, Wholehearted Love and Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love.While she has worked as a therapist and couple’s coach for over three decades and has acquired numerous certificates and degrees along the way, she says that her own thirty-five-year marriage is the primary source of her knowledge when it comes to the cycles of love.WEBSITE: https://www.LindaACarroll.comFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/LindaCarrollBCC/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/LovecycleslindaPINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/LindaCarrollBCC/Visit the Inspired Conversations show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/inspired-conversations/ Connect with Linda Joy at https://www.linda-joy.com/#LindaCarroll #LoveCycles #InspiredConversations #LindaJoy

My guest this week is Linda Carroll, author of the recent book, Love Skills: The Keys to Unlocking Lasting, Wholehearted Love (affiliate link). This is an important conversation for any time, and it may be especially important now as so many of us are social distancing on the one hand but are also with our partners 24/7. This can be great, and also presents challenges, and opportunities to work together toward a stronger union. Linda and I discussed things like how our adult relationships can trigger painful experiences from childhood, and whether happy couples generally resolve all their issues (spoiler alert: they don’t, but they do figure out more effective ways to talk about them). Maybe the most important thing from this episode is the power in recognizing the stories we tell ourselves when we’re upset with our partner, and how questioning those stories puts us in a much stronger position to have a harmonious relationship. Other issues we discussed included: The problem with how couples often handle their disagreements Getting triggered in current relationships based on experiences from our childhood The need for communication skills in an ongoing loving relationship The challenge of seeing out of the fantasy of permanent bliss in early love The unreliability of our feelings in guiding our relationship behavior Our tendency to choose partners who bring out our most vulnerable parts Inquiring within ourselves about our big reactions to small things to better understand ourselves The “Melting Hug” meditation, which bypasses words Effective ways to handle sexual “desire discrepancy” in couples Seeing our differences in relationships as interesting instead of threatening The crucial role of generosity in long-term romantic relationships I hope you find this discussion useful for your own relationship. Linda Carroll, MS, LMFT, BCC, has worked as a therapist and couples coach for over three decades, and has earned numerous degrees and certificates along the way. In addition to Love Skills she’s also the author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love (affiliate link). Linda says that her own 35-year marriage is the primary source of her knowledge when it comes to the cycles of love. She lives in Corvallis, Oregon. Find Linda online at her website and on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) is a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship sage, and author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love. What We Discuss with Linda Carroll: What to do when good chemistry goes bad. Why falling in love with "forbidden" people feels so exciting -- even when we know it's wrong. What to do when we find ourselves Facebook-stalking old flames and fantasizing about rekindling relationships probably best left in the past. What happens to an otherwise good relationship under constant attack by misfiring fight or flight chemicals (and how to get back on target). How to get over the end of a devastating relationship and on with your life. And much more...

Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) rejoins the show to discuss how we often label the other person in a relationship as "the crazy one" and why we need to examine where we land on the narcissistic continuum. Linda is a therapist and author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love. The Cheat Sheet: After a painful breakup, have you ever casually referred to the estranged party as your "crazy ex?" It's common to chalk up the strains of complex human dynamics as the results of someone else's mental disorder when we want to avoid taking personal responsibility for them -- and this is dangerous. While a real narcissist is hard to find, we all land somewhere on the narcissistic continuum. Learn what we can do if we think we or someone we know and love might be in a relationship with a narcissist -- or even be one. Understand the difference between being a true narcissist and exhibiting narcissistic qualities. And so much more...

Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda), therapist and author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love, revisits the show to discuss how we can maintain strong romantic relationships for years beyond the initial hormones of early love. The Cheat Sheet: Like seasons, tides, and other natural processes, love goes through very distinct, predictable cycles through which we can weather and thrive over the long term with preparation. Romance is based on science, not superstition. Why does falling in love make us crazy? Because we're experiencing the Merge -- the first of these love cycles -- governed by body chemistry (hormones) that intoxicates us to operate outside our "normal" parameters of behavior. The bad news: the Merge -- so named because it elates us with a feeling of unity with another person where our boundaries are merged together -- is temporary. The chemicals wear off. The good news: we can rekindle the chemistry of the Merge with our current partner if we overcome the cycles of Doubt and Denial, Disillusionment, and Decision to reach Wholehearted Love -- instead of engaging in a string of ultimately failing serial relationships to maintain the high of the Merge. Learn how to defend yourself against making poor choices when you're under the influence of the Merge. And so much more...
