Dr. Luella Jonk: Relationship Insights Inspired By John Gray
I’m joined by the very interesting Dr. Luella Jonk—a psychotherapist and a functional medicine practitioner from Canada who is also a long-time listener of the show—to have a conversation all about relationships. You will hear us discuss John Gray’s essential relationship assignments as well as many other relationship insights—we talk about why we are obligated to take care of ourselves first before getting into relationships, why anxiety is so prevalent these days, the cost of trying to control other people and outcomes, the difference between mental health care in North America and in Western Europe, and much more! TIMESTAMPS: We are obligated to take care of ourselves first. [01:56] It is important to understand how much your physical health affects your mental health. [07:12] Most of the couples seeking therapy, say the number one problem is communicating with each other. [15:23] Women’ roles have become more confused as they move from home responsibilities into the corporate world where they may be competing with their masculine energy. [17:20] Men’s role is to listen and not give advice when the woman needs to transition from the workplace to the home. [21:47] The modern male is charged with being all things to all people. John Gray says men should stay calm, cool, and collected. Choice of words, tone of voice, and body language play a big role. [24:54] You cannot control anyone or anything. There’s a lot of self-love that can be practiced. You are going to be all right. [37:28] Luella believes that North America is not doing as well with mental health care as perhaps western Europe. [41:10] Why is anxiety so prevalent these days? [46:01] Lead with love rather than fear. [54:00] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel (Now available in Cocoa Bean flavor!)
