Bringing Brain-Based Solutions to Your Marriage with Dr. Jerome Lubbe
Dr. Jerome helps us to understand how we develop provocative differences in marriage over time, differences that can cause conflict but that are essentially important for brain health or neuroplasticity. In this fascinating interview on brain and body health in marriage, we look at both our top Enneagram proficiency areas as well as those in which we have a lower aptitude - we need both to level us out.
