When people say they are ‘looking for their other half,’ it sounds nice, but as a therapist, I think ‘Oh no!’ Because going into a relationship expecting the other person to complete you is not a good intention.
Realize you already are complete, you are responsible for your own happiness, and think about what you can give to the relationship, rather than what you can get. It’s about companion-ing, not completing.
– Dr. Heather Browne
If the heart could speak, what would it say? What is the one lie that destroys relationships? What are the five components of healthy communication?

About Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT
Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT helps people recognize the power of communication. It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities. Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do. Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationships. This is the hidden key to acceptance. And this is her mission to share.
