“There is nothing better than a room full of people interested in love!” This is my opening line whenever I’m face to face with an audience of people interested in my presentation – “Disappointing Love Life and how to fix it.” The prospect of teaching a group of people how we learn to love and…
I created a highly effective psychological method of improving a disappointing love life. I call it the Love Life Consultation. A telehealth consultation that focuses exclusively on identifying and changing what was unconsciously learned about love relationships that is unhealthy.
