Lisa Merlo-Booth is a straight-talking and highly effective relationship expert, speaker and blogger. She has over twenty years of experience in the field of therapy and relationship coaching and a thriving private practice with a client base of individuals and couples spanning the United States and Europe.
Lisa earned her Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Pepperdine University in 1991 and is a Graduate of Coach University. SheL is known for her lasered teaching and non-judgmental ability to guide therapists through the difficult terrain of couples work, and couples into a Radical New Approach to Relationships - one grounded in powerful strength, intimacy and deep connection.
We speak about:
- how the ocean we swim in (an ocean we may not even be conscious of) was formed from the triple threat of patriarchy, gender socialisation and misogyny
- how this ocean damages ALL of us, not just girls and women, and the end effect is a generation of men being blind-sided when they have no capacity to emotionally connect in relationships
- how little boys are taught to "man up and emotionally shut down" and little girls are taught to be "accommodating, nice, pretty"
- childhood home environments and the impact that this has had on both Lisa and Kylie's relationship patterns
- how the traditional approach to relationship therapy (everything is 50 / 50, don't call the oppressor to account for bad behaviour) is failing couples, and ENABLING the very systems of oppression that have caused what most couples seeking help need to heal
- Lisa's radically new approach to relationships, and her "secret sauce" of actively calling out the bad behaviour of the person would be the most difficult to live with- - the four pillars of Healthy Relationships, built on a foundation of Uncompromising Safety, and how these combine to feeling like a relationship is your safe place, and feels like a gentle coming home
