“To me that’s conscious loving at its best: To be completely in union in a way that allows you not only to feel the other person’s presence, but to feel your own presence at the same time. ” – Gay Hendricks
Intro
I am SO excited to welcome bestselling author and counseling psychologist, Gay Hendricks, to the show to talk about themes from two of his books, The Big Leap and Conscious Loving.
Gay has been a huge inspiration for me personally and professionally, and he makes psychological concepts easy to understand.
We talk about upper limit problems (self-sabotage) first, and then move into how to create epic relationships. Throughout the conversation, Gay shares invaluable wisdom from his own life. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Highlights:
- 03:20 The Big Leap and the upper limit problem
- 18:00 How negativity shapes us in early childhood
- 22:20 Conscious loving– What makes epic and healthy relationships?
- 30:30 The steps in turning codependent relationships into conscious relationships
- 40:25 Normalizing true apology and radical responsibility for our own behaviors
- 48:10 Gay’s favorite relationship practice
