Summary: Interview with Dr Karen Sherman-Psychologist, Relationship Coach, Author and Seminar Leader. Dr Karen and I really clicked fast on this show, she had me at her New York accent. We talked about her background and how she ended up doing so much work in helping people to create healthy relationships. She answered many questions like "Do opposites really attract and is that a good foundation to start a relationship?" I guessed the 3 common reason couples fight and yes I nailed them; money, sex and some form of control over the relationship. Dr Karen touched my heart when she stated that couples need to embrace each other including their dark side and not be triggered by them. Building each other up not tearing each other down should be the Status Que. Listen below to the 15 minute snippet of Dr Karen talking about how important it is to transform the pain we all feel inside and to free us up so that we can all experience the peace and joy of life. We also discussed two of her books; "Marriage Magic-Find it-Keep It-and Make It Last" and "Mindfulness and the Art of Choice-Transform Your Life." What is her "Art of Choice Program" about: Most of us live in a basic state of mindlessness. When we live mindlessly it means we simply function. We exist rather than live - like we’re on “autopilot” and therefore not really conscious of what we are doing. We are not taking responsibility for our actions, reactions, or behaviors. Despite this gray state of existence, we’re surrounded by choices at every moment, each an opportunity for change, each an opportunity to live mindfully.
