Relationship Repair Retrospective

March 16, 2015 John Uncategorized No comments

I gotta say I was surprised to have both Susan Campbell and John Grey on the call last Thursday. I was under that impression that only Susan was going to do the interview, so it was nice to have both with us for the Q and A. Susan and John are co-authors of FIVE-MINUTE RELATIONSHIP REPAIR: Quickly Heal Upsets, Deepen Intimacy, and Use Differences to Strengthen Love.

If you still haven’t heard what they had to say about quick relationship maintenance just click on the YouTube logo and you’ll be taken to the recording…

Here’s a list of talking points from the show:

5 Minute Relationship repair? Seems too good to be true!
Deep issues are at work here
Trouble tends to have its origins in childhood
Indicators of trouble in a relationship
Doing “quick repair”
Do we actually attract the wrong partners?
There’s brain science at work
The physical manifestations of relationship stress
Our core fears are at work
Relationship repair and gender roles
Couples who “get it right”
Something for couples not having problems

In a few days I’ll tell you about the guests who’ll be with us on the next show.

Be well..

March 5, 2015 John Uncategorized No comments

Button pushing, fights, and cold, smoldering, silent resentment. Remind you of your truly beloved? On the next CHI FOR YOURSELF we’ll look at these and other issues facing many couples. Our guest will be Dr. Susan Campbell, co-author with Dr. John Grey, of Five Minute Relationship Repair. Dr. Campbell has long worked as a relationship coach and teamwork consultant to Fortune 500 companies and has authored six books.

Why do we often feel afraid to speak honestly to the one we love the most?

Can couples really repair things in five minutes?

A Great Response to First Responders

October 21, 2014 John Uncategorized No comments

Your response to Capt. Dan Willis’ interview on CHI FOR YOURSELF last week was great to see! Dan talked about the challenges that first responders face and how they can be helped to do their very important jobs. I thought it was great to hear that inner exploration is being used as a healing tool, and that Spirit is taking its place in the process.
