Our Sensual Expressions with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Thomas Jordan, on air form April 20th
The divorce rate had held steady, at 50%, for decades in America. Of those who remain married, a significant percentage are unhappy, dissatisfied, or unfulfilled. More people are delaying or forgoing marriage. Is there a way for Americans to find love and to remain happy in a committed relationship? A new book unequivocally says YES – but only if we examine our past relationships and learn to take a new approach to love.
Learn To Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life penned by Thomas Jordan, Ph.D., a therapist specializing in relationships for over 30 years, reveals the keys to understanding exactly what it takes to hold on to love – and to nurture it so that both members of a couple are not just tolerating but embracing, one another. He shows us, essentially, how to gain control of our love life.
“Becoming conscious of what we’ve learned unconsciously is a necessary step in getting control over our love lives,” says Dr. Jordan.
By exploring one’s relationship baggage, he or she can find themselves in a better position to fix their current relationship or bring a new approach to the next one. “Most of the time we talk about love as a courted state of mind and heart without an understanding or even an awareness of what it takes to have and hold onto a healthy love relationship,” says Dr. Jordan.
“In most instances,” concludes Dr. Jordan, “repetitive love life experience is replicating some kind of past relationship experience. Seeing the connections between your past relationship experience and what is happening to your present love life empowers you to make the needed changes in your love life. Remember, all of this is learned, so it can be unlearned and something healthier learned or relearned, putting you in control of your love life.”
