Dr. Michelle Skeen on how to stop letting your fears sabotage your relationships

Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.

*"Best Of" replay. Tonight’s show will help you stop pushing potential partners away by exploring why you do that and explaining how you can stop. 

Psychologist Dr. Michelle Skeen explores how our “core beliefs” can set the stage for our developing unhealthy, fear-based patterns of behavior that keep us from having happy and healthy connections with others. 

Join us on tonight’s show as she explains the underlying causes and how to yank yourself out of the unhealthy thinking and patterns and develop the skills you need to have loving and happy relationships. 

Her new book we’ll be discussing tonight: Love Me, Don't Leave Me: Overcoming Fear of Abandonment and Building Lasting, Loving Relationships.
