In this week’s Self Love Show, Philippe Lewis will teach us a simple process to reconnect with our most tender parts, allowing us to continue the process of reintegrating our past and deciphering the lessons and wisdom that has yet to be uncovered from it.

In working with clients over the years, Philippe has found that our most difficult and dysregulated moments can be linked to aspects of us that sometimes seem to "pull" away from us in an attempt to be felt and heard, and in an attempt to remind us of a past we have not fully integrated. These "parts" are often either: 

1. The inner animal/primal, 

2. The inner child (under 12), or 

3. The inner teenager. 

This will no doubt be a a powerful hour as Philippe shares his knowledge on Attachment Theory, Self-Regulation, and Sovereignty. Not to be missed!

Philippe is a relationship educator. He created Exquisite Dark Love to support men and women in making better choices for themselves and each so they can become sovereign humans through the practice of connection, trust, consent, intimacy, love, and the exploration of attachment theory. He is the co-founder of ReMENber Brotherhood Journey, a coordinator with ISTA, the International School of Temple Arts, and a modern voice on critical thinking around morality and the integration of Masculine, Feminine, Dark, Light, and Shadow. Over the years, he founded the Open Relationship Community, the Attachment Community, and the Consent Community to support new emerging conversations on these important topics. He is also the happy father of a 9 year old boy who teaches him how to surrender to love and life more fully every day.

PODCAST: Emotional Intelligence (Ready for Love Radio)

Ready For Love Radio

Emotional Intelligence is one those things that can be really confusing – mainly because emotions are just so… confusing -- to those for whom emotional intelligence and empathy are skills they are developing. For many people, however -- and this is especially true of women who culturally are more likely to get the practice needed to develop emotional intelligence and empathy -- emotions are as easy to navigate as movement is easy to navigate to a dancer (who, incidentally, tend to be somatically intelligent). Mothers also often just feel what their children need in a way that is often mysterious to men. Women's Intuition is also a way that we sometimes refer to emotional intelligence and empathy. 

On this show, my friend Nikki and I will try to unravel some of the mysteries around emotions and emotional intelligence.  The questions we discuss are listed below.

The show premieres on Thursday, April 27th at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT

CLASS: Attachment Theory: What To Do About Disinterest In Relationships

With my exquisite friends Bryan & Jennifer, we explore the topic of avoidance in relationships through the lens of Attachment Theory.

For the partner of an avoidant attacher, we'll cover:

★ How to bring the avoidant attacher out of their funk
★ How to detect the edge of an avoidant’s intimacy comfort zone, and avoid pushing them out of it (hint: it’s not with your mind)
★ How to create a deep fulfilling intimate relationship that is also safer for avoidant attachers

For the avoidant partner, we'll explore

★ How to safely communicate to your partner that you’re in a funk and need space (without making them worry)
★ How to share with your partner how they can safely connect with you
★ How to take your space so you can fully show up in the relationship
★ How your need for space is can be a need for time to be with yourself (and how to use this time effectively)
★ Discovering your emotional pace so you can share about it without shame and your partner can be with you on the journey.

For both partners, we'll look at:

★ The (sometimes slow and courageous) journey to a secure attachment style
★ The emotional and somatic dance of attachment styles
★ The true gift of each attachment style
