Ep 163: Relationships with Iman Iskander
Welcome to this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb! Today, I'm thrilled to be chatting with Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, Iman Iskander. Iman has over 20 years of experience helping people build better connections, marriages, and relationships. Her work helps enhance the human bonds between people and helps resolve conflicts. After many years working in mental health in the corporate world, Iman realised it all really comes down to how we connect with one another. Iman is trained in 6 different therapy modalities.
We discuss the differences in different relationships such as work relationships, family, romantic partner, ourselves, and life in general. Iman walks us through how all conflict resolution and relationship building starts with knowing ourselves and ripples out to how we interact with the world.
In this episode, you'll hear:
—How your work relationships influence how you respond, and how certain behavioral patters in our work relationships can lead to burnout.
—The interplay of the neural networks in our brain and how that attributes to our behavioral patters and relationships.
—Developing your relationship with your partner using the 6 magic hours of the Gottman method and 6 second kiss.
—How Iman’s Grow Academy works on building the relationship with yourself in order to grow with others.
—About other relationship understanding practices like Outside Eyes vs Inside Eyes and the Illusion of Oneness.
—The distinction between meditation and mindfulness.
Tune in to hear the full conversation and please connect with both Iman and Erica to share your thoughts.
