This week on the Brute Strength Podcast, I got the chance to catch up with Misbah Haque and Dr. Megan Kaden as we dive into one of my favorite topics, the psychology of human connection and relationships. Does your sense of “self” seem to disappear when you’re in a relationship? How do you balance the two? We’ll be answering these questions and more, including growing together vs growing as an individual, how to practice good conflict resolution and ultimately, how to motivate people through change and how we can use that to become a better coach, friend, and/or partner. Enjoy the show.   Topics:   04:17 - Psychology and relationships 08:15 - Relationships: the individual vs the couple  13:38 - Blame & accountability in relationships  21:30 - Good habits for conflict resolution 31:30 - Connection, sex, and desire  47:33 - Breaking the stigmas about therapy 53:18 - The Art and Science of Connection 1:08:50 - Ownership of our emotions   Links:   TheAirborneMind.com Airborne Mind Podcast The Art and Science of Connection: Mini Course @airbornemind @drmegankaden   Books:   Mating In Captivity - Perel The Way Of The Superior Man - Deida    Reviews:   If you love this podcast please click HERE to leave me a review.
