“When you first meet someone, what you fall in love with is the experience of feeling like you’re being discovered and seen. We can be with someone for a while and we forget that this person just wants someone to be curious about them and bearing witness to their life experience. That’s where the love is. Just make it a sacred practice and a ritual. ” – Dené Logan
Intro
I am so excited to have my new pal, couples therapist and author Dené Logan, on the show to talk about her new book, Sovereign Love: A Guide to Healing Relationships by Reclaiming the Masculine and Feminine Within.
There’s a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to the masculine and feminine, and Dené does an amazing job of breaking this concept down.
We also shared our experiences with codependency in relationships and the importance of taking responsibility for our part in things (which includes understanding what activates you and being able to talk about it).
Dené offered so much wisdom in this conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Highlights:
- 3:17 Dené’s origin story
- 7:20 How Jungian psychology has influenced Dené’s work with couples
- 10:30 Why women can hold a “wounded masculine” energy
- 14:35 How to step back from doing all the things for all the people
- 18:30 Why we create polarity in our relationship dynamics
- 21:50 The challenges with creating secure attachments in relationships
- 29:40 Dené’s most challenging boundary struggle

Dené utilizes her background in depth psychology to infuse archetypes, ritual, and metaphysics into the exploration of how each of us can reclaim the aspects of our authentic selves that we’ve been culturally conditioned to turn away from in an attempt to maintain attachments.
