Why Does My Partner Act?

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C shares about her recent experience attending Psychotherapy Networker, where she met this week's guest, Jules Taylor Shore, in person! Jules is a neuroscience nerd who is passionate about relational therapy. In this conversation you'll hear Jules explain memory reconsolidation, a natural healing process in the brain which can be interrupted by trauma and attachment wounds. Jules explains the role of implicit memory in how we function in relationships. This is a fascinating conversation about a complex subject that Jules makes understandable. Here's more about Jules:

 

Jules became a therapist because she stumbled into a therapist's office when she was in a hard space, fought with him for several months over whether or not feelings are important (she argued they were not), and found herself at the other end transformed. She remembers the day as clearly as if it were yesterday, when she looked up at him from a worn couch in a low cost clinic and said "Patrick, how did you get your job? I think I might want it."

So, she went to grad school a bit after that. Still thought the whole thing was probably woo woo BS, and studied the neuroscience to try to prove herself wrong...and here she is. Jules spends much of her time writing, speaking, running intensive trauma recovery sessions, relational healing workshops and couples intensives, all while teaching interpersonal neurobiology to anyone who will listen. She also co-hosts "Why Does My Partner" podcast with Rebecca Wong and Vicki Easa.
