How Understanding Creates Longstanding Love

In this episode of Ask Dr. Love radio, Dr. Jamie Turndorf discusses the link between Partial Identification, the skill that enables us to empathize with others, and relationship success.

Happy couples are happy because they know how to enter each other's emotional realities and see the world from each other's vantage point.

The technical name for this skill is Partial Identification. What this skill entails is keeping one foot on one's own side of the emotional fence while at the same time stepping into another's emotional shoes.

No relationship can thrive without this skill.

Unfortunately, in distressed relationships, partners never Partially Identify with each other; instead, they ram their individual realities down each other's throats...which leads to ringing each other's necks!

Because Partial Identification is the master key to heading off fights--and creating a solid bond--it's vital to learn how to master this skill, which also happens to improve all our relationships with friends, family, kids and co-workers.
