The holidays can be a time of joy, celebration, and family gatherings, but they can also cause certain stresses and challenges for couples. In our recent interview with renowned couples therapist and author Dr. Stan Tatkin, we explore how to maintain and strengthen secure relationships during this often tumultuous time.
Stan Tatkin, Ph.D., PsyD, MFT clinician, researcher, developer of the Psychobiological Approach to Couples® (PACT), best-selling author of In Each Other’s Care (4/25), and author of Relationship Must Haves Books, connected for love.
Dr. Tatkin introduces us to his innovative PePPeR technology, an invaluable tool for couples looking to anticipate, plan, prepare and modify to help navigate the complexities of the family holiday. This technology enables couples to anticipate potential problems, develop strategies together, and ultimately protect their “couple bubble” from internal and external stressors.
The core of the conversation revolved around the concept of securely functioning relationships. Dr. Tatkin shares his insights into how to promote relationships that operate safely and why they are critical, especially during the holidays. Safely functioning relationships are built on trust, shared goals and a shared vision. They provide a solid foundation for couples to navigate the challenges of extended family dynamics and social pressures.
In interviews, Dr. Tatkin provides couples with practical strategies for building and maintaining stable relationships. These strategies include aligning a common goal and vision for the holiday event, understanding the four key elements of PePPeR technology, and learning how to apply them effectively in real-life scenarios.
The interviews also feature real-life examples of couples who have successfully implemented PePPeR technology, highlighting the practical benefits the technology has brought to their relationships during the festive period.
