ERP 176: How to Give and Receive Influence - an Interview with Dr. Keith Witt

In This Episode, Dr. Keith Witt And Dr. Jessica Higgins Discuss:

• Understanding intersubjectivity – the unique space that exists between two people.
• Recognizing the powerful impact and influence of our emotional states on each other in relationship.
• Learning how to manage and shift out of reactive, defensive, and negative states and how to amplify positive states.
• Attending to the three foundations of a relationship; tending to your friendship, love affair, and capacity to heal injuries.
• Love can work between almost any human being if they're willing to learn how to cultivate positive, effective states with each other and regulate the negative states.

"In general, what characterizes a happy couple is that mostly they have positive states towards each other; they're mostly influencing each other with positive emotions." – Keith Witt
