Empowered Love
Feel powerless in love?
Here’s why:
We fall in love in the Toddler brain…
The volatile, impulsive limbic system…
Which matures by age 3!
We stay in love in the profound Adult brain…
The prefrontal cortex, which reaches full maturity by age 28.
Toddler brain love is filled with wonder at first…
But leads inevitably to conflict, disillusionment, and pain.
Adult love rises from our deepest, most humane values:
Compassion, kindness, and desire for mutual growth.
We can deepen the experience of love…
And make relationships safe and secure…
By activating the most profound part of the brain…
The Adult brain.
