Thriving relationships through the power of neuroscience

 

Thriving relationships through the power of neuroscience

A note from Stan and Tracey

We simply love love. As couple therapists, we want to share the key to success in relationships: the nervous system. You’re not really two people in love. You are, in fact, two brains in love. 

When you and your partner learn each other’s brains, something magical happens. It’s called secure functioning. When you are in a secure-functioning relationship, you don’t worry about your relationship - instead your relationship empowers other aspects of your life. 

  • Get the tools to work out big life problems and little daily frustrations more quickly 
  • Keep interpersonal stress to a minimum
  • Be happier, more flexible, creative, friendly, and healthy

Relationships Are Hard, But Why?

Stan Tatkin at TEDx

Relationships are hard. But what if it's not you or them or sex, money or even who picks up the socks. What if there is a far more primitive reason? 

In this talk, relationship expert Stan Tatkin explores why we fight from the perspective of neuroscience – and how to give your relationship a fighting chance.

What is PACT?

Stan Tatkin, PsyD, LMFT, and Tracey Boldemann-Tatkin, PhD, AMFT, founded The PACT Institute to train couples in Stan’s neuroscience-based method of couple therapy.

Developed by Stan, a Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy® (PACT for short) is a polytheoretical integration of attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, arousal regulation, and other methods.

PACT has a reputation for effectively treating the most challenging couples. For over 20 years, thousands of couple therapists have been trained in PACT methodology, bringing secure functioning to tens of thousands of couples.

PACT teaches and promotes secure-functioning principles and skills in every corner of the world and to individuals and families in addition to couples. PACT is constantly advancing the field of couple therapy into the scientific and cultural vanguard and increasing therapists' fund of knowledge.

The PACT Institute provides trainings, workshops, continuing education, and community plus an active directory of PACT therapists and archive of print and recorded resources for certified therapists and students.
