Short blog on how much our core beliefs about ourselves and others - and what is possible in love and life - makes all of the difference in what we experience:

"It’s time we told a different kind of story about the innate nature of humanity & its capacity or incapacity cooperate & love. In the past few months - among other things, I’ve been exploring how much our beliefs influence what we experience in the realm of love. If we are single & looking for a mate, our beliefs about ourselves & others will determine what kind of potential mates we attract. If we’re in a relationship, our beliefs will have lasting effects on our partner & what kind of experience we have with him/her.

One of the things I invariably hear from first time clients is a blanket statement about their gender of choice - that “they are inherently selfish & out for themselves” - and they’ll quote some psychologist or reference the classic, Lord of the Flies.

I do not believe this whatsoever. Given the right support, humans are basically motivated to do good and collaborate with others. Your love life will greatly improve if you fully embrace this!

And, I am was thrilled to discover an article from the Guardian that describes how the story of Lord of the Flies is completely false - and a true story has come forth re: a group of boys stranded on an island in which they helped one another in the spirit of camaraderie. One of the boys - now a grown man - tells about this story in this article. "Life has taught me a great deal, including the lesson that you should always look for what is good and positive in people.”💗

In all my years of working with thousands of couples, I can testify that this message from Thich Nhat Hanh is always true: “Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, JUST UNDERSTANDING. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.” 💟

And we’ve all been there when it really feels like the problem at hand is because of the OTHER person. And maybe this is true. Might we be contributing to the breakdown or misunderstanding - even if only by 3%? If we can build in a little space between our thoughts & reaction, it’s possible to see a much bigger picture - and be able to respond and speak our truth to the other in a non-blameful generative way.

Come learn more & practice this new way of approaching difficult areas in our close relationships at the upcoming Speaking from Power Center intensive:

🌟 SPEAKING FROM POWER CENTER

Telling the Truth in a Way That Deepens Your Relationships — Instead of Blowing Them Up

Most of us have two modes when it comes to hard conversations:

🤐 Go quiet to keep the peace — while resentment quietly does its damage.

💥 Finally say something — and watch it become the exact fight we were trying to avoid.

But there is a THIRD WAY. ✨

I was working with a couple the other day - and Stan Tatkin’s concept of a “couple bubble” came up. It’s such a vital concept for a couple - all about putting the relationship first.

To create a couple bubble, you and your partner agree on what you each need to feel safe & secure. You both need to dialogue to deeply understand what each needs to feel secure - and come to some agreements to create & keep the couple bubble in tact. Here is an article by Bethany Nicole that describes more about the couple bubble: https://is.gd/rnjyJJ 💗

How can two people come together to create the most magnificent partnership & life they could ever imagine? Dr. Joe Dispenza says: "The quantum field responds not to what we want; it responds to who we are being…. If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself, and reinvent a new self.”

How does this relate to a couple who want to create an extraordinary relationship and life?

Kim Von Berg responds: "When two conscious people form a romantic partnership and they are able to live mostly from their adult Aware Selves, they are now in a position to imagine & create the most magnificent dream they could ever imagine in their relationship and in their lives. It begins with both coming together to imagine their dream - and then, each being willing to step into being their greatest true selves - the selves who could live out such a dream now.” ❤️

I get asked this question a lot from my clients: "What is the most important quality or capacity to secure a long lasting relationship?” 💞

There is more than just one quality or capacity - but if I had to pick one, it would be to have the capacity to stay centered in one's aware (adult) self. So, a few thoughts about how we can step into our aware self, that is, our authentic adult self:

The idea is not to become perfect but to become CONSCIOUS when we find ourselves reacting or about to go “unconscious” & dropping into a wounded place.

We want to be able to be self responsible for our part in what is happening - and identify what may need healing whenever we find ourselves getting thrown off or feeling badly about ourselves &/or our beloved. And then, we need to be able to step into who we TRULY are: intelligent, wise, resilient and emotionally mature adults. From this empowered place, we can access all of our capacities to resolve anything that needs resolving - and step into all that it takes to create a beautiful loving passionate relationship with our beloved.❤️
