Description
Why do relationships start with so much excitement, only to feel automated or distant over time? In this video, Couples Therapist and Psychotherapist Melissa Ferrari breaks down the psychobiological approach to relationship success.
Discover the 3 key areas that dictate how we love: the brain's natural automation process, arousal regulation (how we handle fights), and our underlying attachment styles. Learn why we often choose partners who unintentionally trigger our past wounds, and why true couples therapy isn't just about "talking about the problem," but actively learning to co-regulate with each other.
Whether you are looking to repair a rift or strengthen your bond, practicing curiosity and understanding the science behind your connection can change everything.
