Love vs. Your Brain: Why Neurobiology Will Break Relationships and How to Outsmart It, taught by Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT


In the workshop, PACT founder Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, will explain not only
why secure, loving relationships don’t happen naturally — but how to help couples consciously design, actively maintain, and continuously protect their relationship from nature’s interference.

Join Stan for a practical, eye-opening workshop. Here's what you'll learn from this training:

  • Translate neurobiological insights into concrete therapeutic interventions for high-conflict and insecure couples.
  • Assess and intervene in couple conflicts driven by neurobiological threat activation and survival-based automation. 
  • Reframe couple distress in ways that reduce blame and improve engagement. 
  • Interrupt escalation cycles and reduce misperceptions fueled by memory bias.
  • Guide couples toward co-regulation and secure-functioning behaviors, even under stress. 

Understand how you can trick biology and hack the brain to improve couple relationships… including your own!

Expect practical tools and a powerful new framework to bring more focus and impact to your work with couples.
