- People may know what a healthy romantic relationship looks like, but most don’t know how to get one. Psychologist and researcher Joanne Davila describes how you can create the things that lead to healthy relationships and reduce the things that lead to unhealthy ones using three evidence-based skills - insight, mutuality, and emotion regulation. Share this with everyone who wants to have a healthy relationship.
Dr. Joanne Davila is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University. She received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from UCLA.
Dr. Davila’s expertise is in the area of romantic relationships and mental health in adolescents and adults, and she has published widely in this area. Her current research focuses on romantic competence among youth and emerging adults, the development of relationship education programs, the interpersonal causes and consequences of depression and anxiety, and well-being and relationship functioning among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals.
Dr. Davila is a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science and the Incoming Editor (2016-2022) for the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
Dr. Davila also is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in evidence-based interventions for relationship problems, depression, and anxiety.

First lesson: find yourself a partner who is willing to learn and develop themselves alongside you.
Yep you got it😇
Lesson 1: There's no problem too big for suicide to fix.
Great advice thanks
Attractive women wait at the finish line and pick the winners. They arent interested in a build a boo.
Olive Papyrus wanting to learn is thirst and hunger for all life’s gifts. Wanting to change is is generosity of gifting one’s life to the other. To be a safe holder of someone ‘s life is a huge deal.
I'm educating myself for my future girlfriend 😀
CutiePi
Thank you! She will be a lucky women! I'm doing the same for my future husband!
You’re a wonderful man! ❤️❤️
CutiePi have you found your desired girlfriend?
Same here 😊🤜🏼🤛🏼
So am I! The wise learn from other people's mistakes.
It is not only finding the right partner, it is also being the right partner.
My wife and I have a system.
When either one asks “could you”…that means the the task can wait or not be done at all. But when one says I “need you” to…the other partner drops everything, does the task with no questions asked. Although seldom used, this system has worked beautifully. Most importantly, you don’t keep count
That's cool, thanks for sharing!
That’s great I love that you have a partner you can work with in that way to clear that common communication issue with sense of urgency of an ask.
Dude the not keeping count thing is so so true. Keeping count leads to resentment weather your doing more or less. Trust that your partner will do their part without constantly comparing to what your doing is so important.
Thats great advice we need to know how we communicate with each other👍
I must be super into this guy, for me to start doing research on how to love him better
Make sure he's doing the same for you love!
You should love yourself. Also.
Is it working out?
@The Overthinker... love your comment. I'm in boat just like yours right now
@@ndeb3371 We didn't exactly end up together...but what I learned helped me mend my relationships with family so all's well that ends well ♥ good luck to you!
I wish they'd teach this in schools. We are sent off into the world with no financial education, relationship training, or real-world skills. If you come from a family lacking of, or dysfunctional in, any of these areas, good luck; you are likely to repeat what you've been exposed to.

Anmol Solapur
***** Yes? :)
Anton Gruba the person slut shaming girls who also has uploaded only videos of super sexualized women. hypocrite.
Sarah Carr lmao, that guy isn't too bright, maybe he should shut up and listen... then he'll learn
Imagine being called down to an assembly in high school and having this talk presented. Half of assemblies were so pointless.. imagine what something like this could have done for ALL high school couples. I would personally be so interested in this even in grade 9.
because there is no paid programme for assemblies... so teachers don't take heart to prepare
I may be wrong, but judging from the way terms you use, it sounds like you were in a South African school.
@Jose Sanchez shot for that, I meant @InnaAllStar in particular
InnaAllStar I think so
I would have hated it as a teen who had been in therapy. Remember 14 yr olds know everything. Right? I doubt anyone would really take it seriously lest they show vulnerability in front of the savage jackals of high school peers.
Last night I made my girl cry for the first time.
It literally destroyed me hard core.
From today onwards I've dedicated to invest in my relationship.
That's great that you're striving to be a good partner
@@hopedean6424 thanks
What did you do?
I told my ex she was annoying sometimes. She cried.
We ALL CRY ! It's a human thing and she'll cry again, I'm sure!
@@jonassal6937 dude don't ever told a girl stuff like that lmao
1.Genuinely knowing what you need and want in a partner and a relationship
2. Selecting the right person
3. Having and developing the relationship competence skills from the beginning
3.1. Insight (Awareness, learning)
A better idea of who you are, you need, you want. Knowing your partner better. Anticipate the negative/positive consequences of your behavior better.
3.2. Mutuality
Knowing both people have needs and both needs matter. Be able to communicate your needs clearly. Be willing to meet your partner's needs. Factor both your and your partner's needs in decision making.
3.3. Emotion regulation
Keep your emotion calm. Think through your decisions more clearly. Maintain your self - respect and commitment to your needs even when bad things happen in the relationship.
I did all these. Sadly my ex gave up halfway through, and called it quits 10 months in.
Real mvp 👏🏼
"No amount of premarital education can make up for a bad partner choice" savage and true I love it!!!!!
Sarah Beauvais I am a marriage educator and I totally ageee
If you were properly educated you probably wouldn't have made a bad choice.
Steven Hernandez Non-profit fundamentals Marriage educator?! So u charge people for stuff u can find on the internet...
lol this is true!
It's sad situation when am away for my job that my wife was having love affair with my best friend, I noticed she was getting closer with my friend, and she chat in private now and receives call in private. He also changed his password. I was wondering what was going on until I was introduced to Optimum_tech001 on IG by a close friend. He access my wife's facebook and Whatsapp. She had been having affairs with my best friend for about 6 months now. With proof of her unfaithfulness I've been over that toxic relationship.
Points: Insight, mutuality and emotion regulation.
Insight - Awareness, understanding and learning. Knowing what's right for you.
Mutuality - Knowing both people have needs and both needs matter, and working to meet those needs.
Emotion Regulation - Regulating your feelings in response to things that happen in the relationship. Tolerate uncomfortable feelings and not lash out.
Good talk. A lot of people need to see this. Wish I saw this 20 years ago. Now I feel totally emotionally incompetent and feel like it's just too much of a hassle to try to connect with people.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks :D

cxa011500 You're on the right track. At least you saw the video at all! Just apply what you learned from now on. xo
Nice video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Lammywalness his happiness Guide (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive product for understanding what men really want minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
I wish I had learned this before destroying my relationship. Now I can see how unhealthy I was being to my former partner. Thank you for helping me in this quest to be a better person myself.
Well, now you know. Move forward from this point.
I know how you feel. Learning how to act right once it's too late to fix your relationship is a very hard pill to swallow. But at least we can learn how to do better for the next person we might go into a relationship with.
I feel exactly the same way, and Im depressed because know that I figure out what was going wrong my partner is sick of me and he ask me for the divorce.
@@Oliviaheckelwell it might not be too late to start over with him again
it's because the major society doesn't give emphasis on these kind of culture.
her voice is so calming
I'm studying psychology and had a nonverbal communication course the previous semester. And I saw pretty much nonverbal signals which were made on purpose - the calm voice, the hand gestures, the pose, even the way she's looking at the audience. Don't know why I said that really :D Just wanted to share :D
Dessy K. I avoided looking at hrs because what you talked about distracted me from what she was saying.
Do you know Paris Geller from Gilmore Girls? It really reminded me of her, and she's like the strongest women character I've seen in any tv-show. If you don't watch the show, watch some youtube-clips, I guess you'd agree. :)
saskia h. I got the same feeling haha
she is a therapist, of course
Selecting the right partner is very challenging because people don't come with a manual or a QR code, which you can scan with your mobile device, to get insight into their personality. A lot of people hide their true selves, only showing their best version in the beginning, until a few weeks or few months later you begin to see them for who they are. This is why relationships are exhausting.
Yeah :(
That's true. Another thing is that we tend to feel instinctively attracted to what we are familiar with, what we emotionally know from our past, so those of us who grew up in a chaotic, insecure or even unloving environment have it that much harder to choose a stable, honest, loving person for a relationship - we simply filter these type of people out because they feel too distant and unknowable to us.
Exactly. It's hard to find an authentic person. They're usually a conglomeration of expectations and (unfortunately) religious brainwashing. One of my priorities is to find someone raised without a religious background like me, because whether they turn atheist or not, there's just too much baggage that comes with indoctrination.
I couldn't agree with you more Frank M! I gave up 5 years ago after dealing with someone just like you describe; a chameleon who became exactly who he thought I wanted just to get what he wanted... it is exhausting and I have become happily single after getting over that mind f**king ordeal.
Frank M question
Intimacy,, security, respect, good communication, a sense of being valued.
On the bad side: fighting too much, not being able to go to your partner for support, contempt, hostility, violence.
The problem: Do you know what to do on a day to day basis to create that healthy relationship?
1. Know what you need and want from a partner and a relationship
2. Choose the right partner
3. Having a good set of skills
Skills:
1. Insight.
2. Mutuality
3. Emotion Regulation
Very nice summary, thanks for creating and sharing
Right and yet I have no tool from this video.
I have no idea on how to do so to be honest
I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death.
I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse.
People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse.
Most people consider their platonic best friend to be their soulmate rather than their romantic partner or spouse.
Yes you are right
Love is not looking into each other eyes but also looking the same direction
Hello there

Great quote
Hello how are you doing
@@MistyshaAnguohello how are you doing
the deliverance of that speach was near perfect.
+Daniel Dawson so true, really enjoyable. I guess it wasn't the first time she delivered this speech
agreed
Daniel Dawson *delivery :p I couldn't agree more. it was well delivered.

For kindergartners...
I'm really bad at regulating emotions. I feel discarded/abandoned the minute someone that I care about seems distant. As a result, I also back away because I've had experiences in the past where I get hurt from trying to bridge the gap when someone is distant.
Menouthis Me too. It sounds like you have an anxious attachment style, which makes you instinctively very sensitive to your partner pulling away. Read "Attached" by Amin Levine and Rachel Heller and it will help. It's important for you to find a partner who is securely attached so they don't push your buttons and can support you when your "attachment hunger" comes up.
Menouthis I’m the same way!!! Thanks to our lousy upbringings. I was so emotionally isolated and neglected my whole childhood and I know without a doubt now my parents negligence and financial priorities set me up for this fate. I’m damaged and it’s not that there is hope for healing but it’s that much more difficult to navigate with another human being. We’re also so afraid of getting hurt again we can’t even get our relationships off the ground because out trust muscle is so damaged. Better to get healed some where like Celebrate Recovery. It might take years but you’ll get there eventually.
I’ll teach you a effective strategy
Download a metronome on your phone
Adjust the metronome to 26 bpm
Focus on your breathing
breath deeply
While you breath Expand your belly
It calms you mentally and emotionally
Do this often enough after while you can do this with out the metronome

What’s borderline
Same...
I love how she took 13 and 14 year old girls results seriously. Most people wouldn't pay attention because they think they don't last. But what you learn from when you're young really affects future relationships.
It's the same with your pension. People often start too late 😢
"with insight, you'll be able to understand your partner more"
she sounds like she's unveiling new software.
lmao
thought the same :D
In a way isn't that what it is. Software update.
Hey
🤣🤣🤣
yes, I think teaching the young to have healthy relationships is SO important!
Lovely video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Millawdon Varied Nights Trick (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning intimate questions to make your relationship stronger minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin at last got amazing results with it.
Janelle Fraser 唉唉
I don't think it is important at all. This video is just a bunch of moralistic nonsense.
Not just young people, folks of all ages could use a lesson in partner selection, and how to be in a relationship. I know a lot of "older" folks who can not achieve what they want relationship wise or to build and maintain a healthy relationship...:)
Janelle Fraser remember we are not above it. We too need the love and nurturing care that comes from learning by teaching. :)!
Everyone agrees that emotional intelligence and awareness are essential. The real question is how to acquire those skills? How does a person learn insight, mutuality and emotional regulation?
+Coach Craig Kenneth no.
Maturity
anor33
Common sense. Of course, some people have none.
Hello nice to meet you
I think the first step is just becoming aware that these are things to be worked on. For each of these three things, a majority of learning them comes through recognizing when they are applicable, thinking about them, and communicating with a partner.
For insight, consider what you need in a relationship. (E.g. do you want more of an open relationship or do you want something private? Do you want someone who has a set career path/life-plan or someone who has no particular plans? Does this person need similar political beliefs as I do?) This is something one would spend a lot of time thinking about.
For mutuality, one can practice with a partner by communicating their needs. Consider "does my partner really know how I feel about _____?" Communicating seems easy at first because you're always talking to your partner, but consider when don't you tell you partner things and why. I've seen it happen often that people dont communicate their needs directly.
Emotion regulation is another one that requires a lot of thought. How do you feel about things and how do you respond to them? If you find yourself unhappy, consider "why?" Is it because of your partner that you feel that way?
Personally, there were many times when I would become extremely moody and need constant reassurrance my partner still liked me. I didnt distrust her, I just couldnt convince myself. Lo and behold after going out for almost 4 years I discovered I become extremely moody when I'm hungry. (Its insight that helped me see that.) When I feel that she doesnt like me or that I need to worry she'll up and leave, I need to practice emotion regulation. Before I prod her for reassurrance, I take a breather and get a snack. I feel so much better ever single time. Mutuality allowed me to communicate this to her and organize that we constantly have snacks around in case one of us feels moody.
Healthy relationships:❣
Selecting the right person!
3 skills:
1. Insight: learning and understanding yourself and your partner. What is really right 4 you.
2. Mutuality: willing to meet your partner needs/ decisions.
3. Emotions regulations ( keep everything in perspective) tolerate uncomfortable situations) self respect.
Yay you will pass the test. But life will be the same.
Hello
I truly believe these instincts should be devolped when your are single. The way you communicate with co-workers, family, friend etc. So that when you step into a relationship it doesn't feel overwhelming becuase your trying to change for someone so quickly.
My mom died when I was 13 my Dad was an abusive alcoholic who never even said I love you. I grew up not knowing love and looking for it in all the wrong places. This talk struck a nerve in me I don’t feel sorry for myself but I wished there was a high school course that taught this instead of other silly and unecessary things taught. Thanks for enlightenment 😊
Hi Lana, that was a great comment you made. I feel your pain...how are you doing?
I believe the person I am dating resonates with this. He has a troubled, unloved past. I am trying to give him the love he deserves but he can't seem to receive it or reciprocate. Do you have some insight into this? He is really an amazing person, so many great qualities and I see a genuine soul. However it is so tricky for me to know how to act.
Henrik Liam Hi Henrik I’m doing fine this pandemic has put a damper on dating and I find myself missing my last boyfriend who ghosted me because of poor communication. Anyway, just keep on learning. How are you?
Angelina Denisenko he needs to have his past forgiven by himself or God. We all have troubles even in the best families and relationships. It all stems from how the ego perceives the attack... it either opens them up to talk or makes them run away thinking it’s not a worthy relationship. Don’t walk on eggs because you want someone so bad. I was there I loved a guy like that but he didn’t treat me with respect and looking back I see it wasn’t me it was him.
@@Lanamarri36712 wow thank you for your well thought out answer! Take care!!
I'm an early childhood educator and almost all of these things sounds like our social emotional goals. (Balancing our own needs with others, emoutional regulation, solving social problems, ect.) We are getting children that more and more often have experienced trauma and struggle with these skills. I think the solution is embedding them into our curriculum for early childhood and elementary school as well as beyond.
Some more education in life skills would let us thrive a lot more when live is throwing things at us 😊
From what I've seen, you have to practice healthy relationships with others, (family, friends, coworkers, etc) Bc if you don't you're just gonna carry your bad relationship habits into your romance, no matter how much you "love" the person. For example, If you are impatient with your siblings Or if you regularly tell White lies to your parents/ boss you're gonna do it to your S/O as well. Because those are the relationship habits that you've formed.
You're definitely right! I think people forget to practice certain skills to maintaining a healthy relationship with many people in your life, not just one person. Great point!
im a bit impatient. I want to meet often if im interested /curious and learn more about the person as much as i can, its like almost like my mind gets "consumed" and its never reciprocrated. I dont know what to do about this. I never get this feeling with friends or family...
@@Zelaniashey, perhaps you can check out this concept called the “anxious attachment style”. There are books on attachment styles that can help explain your behaviour, and how to work around it. It can also help explain to your partner why you are the way you are :)
@@sixvowels6268 thank you!! I will check it out :D
It's 5:25 am in my part of the World and I am in my quest to be a better partner, thank you for this video it adds to my knowledge of change and burning the past things(white lies, defensiveness, taking accountability) I've come a long way I am proud of myself, but yet keep learning and not drifting back into old ways. Thank you, guys.
Step 1: Find someone who is willing to get in a relationship with you.
I am stuck on step 1
There are a few factors in saving your marriage. One resource I discovered that successfully combines these is the Pavs partner pundit (check it out on google) it's the most useful blueprint that I've heard of. Check out all the incredible information .
First, observe the relationship that you have with yourself. Reflect on what it might take to become the best version of yourself. Pay attention to your mistakes and learn from them. I believe it's an endless process. The right person will find you and you will be ready for them. ⭐
Sometimes you just need to hear a TedTalk like this to help you sort through your thoughts in a more positive, analytical way.
Leaving a relationship you’re not happy in is much easier than emotionally damaging someone. But selfish people don’t get that
You just stated fact and we have to be sure if our partners aren't cheating and deceiving us
Yes but the problem is how do we catch a cheating partner
I know a guy, He helped me aces my wife cell pone remotely and gave me aces to every info in it.
Interesting, how do I get in touch with him?

Hi I'm Sofia, how are you doing
@@SofiaJames-to5nr Hi friend 👋
I have a healthier relationship with my dog than most people 🤷🏽♀️💁🏽💁🏽
Emerson __ Well, most people don't know your dog so that isn't surprising.
Emerson __ Amene Amén amen 09.09.18. Percent
Me too
I gat you
well, yes because dogs are animals, they are not as complex and don’t communicate the same way as humans.
This video really helped me understand how complex a relationship is. I feel like i actually learned how to be a better girlfriend and how to support the relationship. I am a extremely insecure person and ive had problems with jealousy, so this video really helped me. Thank you for posting this video, i am really glad i found this.
Hello how are you doing
The irony is that this video is being watched by people who already know how to love but are suffering in their relationships.
Relationships is something you build and with understanding to grows… I would love to get to know you
This should be a full-time school subject.
Healthy relationship is good communication, people seems to lack that these days.
Valery Molone yes
Coach Valery Molone transparency and vulnerability are what’s not happening. Thereby tainting the communication process.
Fear and selfishness are two big communication sabotages... to have good communication you have to be able to feel safe, so you can be vulnerable and connect authentically
I think people, in my experience, are actually quite good at communicating about their feelings now, especially regarding mental health
I think people are good at communicating with each other what they are not good at is how they communicate.some people get upset at their partner for doing or not doing something. They attack the person so to speak rather than attacking the problem of what was done or not done.
Great points; many times people not only choose "bad" partners, they also enter into relationships as unhealthy individuals seeking to be healed. Unfortunately, for good reason, its not our partners job to heal us. We must be self sufficient and healthy individuals before we can create healthy relationships.
For me it’s loneliness
Not so. See Esther Perel.
respect, feeling valued
Romantic comeptence:
4:40 insight - abiblity to anticipate you and partner
6:30 mutuality - support of needs, wishes
8:30 emotional regulation - tolerate uncomfy feelings
10:00 eg: bday gift
Skills you need ( JUST FOR MY OWN NOTES )
3:21
4:28 1. Insight - Awareness, understanding, and learning. Knowing what's right for you.
6:20 2. Mutuality - Knowing both people have needs and both needs matter, and working to meet those needs.
7:55 3. Emotion Regulation - Regulating your feelings in response to things that happen in the relationship. Tolerate uncomfortable feelings and not lash out.
9:53 11:37 14:40
Insight is basically Self-Awareness, insight is good communication skills and emotional regulation relates back to self awareness. These skills are possible through a daily practice of inner reflexion, introspection, self observation, meditation, prayer. In sum, it is about Spiritual Growth and relationships are a call to grow.
I am so not romantically competent.
That's what I've learnt from watching this talk.
This talk also teaches this is something you can learn and train
Kelle Salle fix it

@Willibald Brösel it's not hard to improve your self if you want to..
Once a relationship is scarred, having meaning conversations without argument seems just impossible. We tried a different approach, tried "Lovify" a couple questions game.
In this game you have to guess what your partner likes or expects. Helped us understand each other better. Stay strong couples :)
Yes you are right hello how are you doing
Its really nice to meet you and check out your profile, infact i really like all what your profile says about you and its seems that we have lots in common.😊
Hello 🌹 👋 Miss how are you doing today hope you're doing great
Hey
I like her voice and how calming she speaks. The way she perceives and describes how to regulate yourself is so great
Hello how are you doing
Hello 🌹 👋 Miss how are you doing today hope you're doing great
Im 27 and im just getting educated about having a healthy relationship. Wish i knew sooner, but is not too late ether.
Sometime if you want to improve your relationships, the simplest strategy is to fully engage in each conversation, without doing any of the distracting activities. Awesome video 😍
I honestly don’t know what to do in my relationship, he treats me right and everything but I feel like I just can’t trust him because of my past of boys cheating and abusive relationships etc, I really do want to work out with him and trust him, but I cannot bring myself to do so, I really hope I gain trust before it’s too late, I love him so much🤦🏼♀️
Same here. It’s fr hard
See a Therapist by yourself...this are your issues that u need to work through Good luck
I'm trying to be a romance song writer. I hope you find a song you like.
honestly, this is the best thing i’ve ever heard. I watched this 3 days ago, I’ve been losing hope in my relationship with my boyfriend because we constantly fought and never got along, and for the past 3 days we’ve been happier then ever. He even said he thinks he have something we didn’t have before not like there wasn’t anything special in the beginning but we both have a lot of hope that it’ll workout! I didn’t realize how important it is to control my emotions and being more aware of things. It helped me way more then I expected.
Are u still with him ?
👍It’s called Romantic Competence
👍 Insight
👍 Mutuality
👍 Emotion regulation
Somehow I figured this out. I love how she articulated it. I didn’t know this is what I was doing, but I’ve been doing it and it does work well. 💞
This is all very good in theory but if you haven't been brought up in a secure environment, to develop this level of awareness and self-confidence then it's no simple matter to learn emotional regulation in particular. This research just seems to reiterate that those lucky enough to have a good start in life and consequent secure attachment are going to do well in relationships, those who haven't are going to struggle. Where is the intervention?
www.skillsforhealthyrelationships.com/
The fact is that these skills are going to help you in your relationships, whether you've been brought up in a good environment or not. Yes it's hard for some that were unfortunate to have a bad start in life but developing these skills will only help them in the future.
It's going to be extremely difficult for them compared to the lucky ones but it's not impossible. Just because someone's had a bad beginning doesn't mean they should have a bad journey.
True, but if you are unhappy and really love someone, you search for answers. Nowadays, we have tools that our parents and grandparents didn't have (therapy, books, tapes, videos, other counseling). You don't have to be lucky, just have a little intelligence.
Lucia Dixon I agree that comming to a healthy environment the start and flow of life will be easy. But closing yourself to the. Solutions available to grown ups from less favourable or harsh Environments doesn't help becuse the Solutions exist and one life can be blissful. I am one of this people actually. Was it easy, at times no, very difficult but it was worthy!
I am not saying I'm closed to potential solutions and growth, I'm just saying this talk makes it sound so easy and doesn't seem to factor in these personal differences or how hard it can be for some. Of course it's just a quick snapshot of their ideas. I've actually bought the book and think it has a lot of really useful and interesting suggestions. I recommend it. And I'm glad that you were able to find that kind of transformation despite the challenges. That is what I wish for all. I'm glad my comment has at least generated these affirming responses!

GREAT book to help men understand women and have much better relationships: "SMILE AND NOD: A Man's Guide To Having A Successful Relationship With A Woman" Look it up on Amazon, you'll be glad you did!
Good job!
What means let's you factor? I'm not an English speaker and this caught my curiosity for what it means
❤
Insight : Knowing who you are and who your partner is.
Mutuality : Finding a comprimise, taking you and your partner's needs and communicating that with each other.
Emotion Regulation : Regulating your own stress, anger and emotions so it doesn't negatively impact your relationship.
I'm 24 ( young) and have been practicing these skills. They are very helpful and my relationship has been great ( definitely not perfect) thus far. It's a continuos practice, that has stared to become second nature. Im am truly amazed. Thank you.
Hi am Sofia, how are you doing
Firstly ,we need to know ourselves, our personality and our need. thanks for the researchers
That's a big important key role in having a healthy relationship.
Getting one more chance to know yourself by moving forward from a toxic relationship takes something. Something like fire from the gut. Beautifully spoken about emotion articulation, self identity and growing together aspect.
❤
Yes you are right how are you
Its really nice to meet you and check out your profile, infact i really like all what your profile says about you and its seems that we have lots in common.😊😊
On the brink of losing my partner, the love of my life. And I'm trying to learn these key elements of healthy romantic relationships to finally be the partner she deserves and the one I've always envisioned myself being. I'm praying that it's not too late and that I'm given one last chance to do and be better.
Meeee too
Same here unfortunately she might not give me another chance
May God help you
You can do this
How are things now?
I'm in my first relationship as a young adult. It's long distance (but he's here for three months), 7 months and going strong. Constantly looking for ways to strengthen our relationship, even though it seems rock solid now. I want us to get married. We're both very relationship competent, always looking for ways to strengthen it. I guess I need this video but an 'advanced version', because my partner and I are already doing and displaying all of these things.
rachelle2227 hope you two are still going strong and if you find something more advanced please do share!
Are you still together? If so tell me your secrets🙃 how to deal with the long distance
If you guys already do these things thst is so great!
I get what you mean, I would appreciate an advanced version coz I just learnt all this the hard way already over the past 2 years. If there's not any further dialogue on this topic, I feel like all of us would just have to learn it for ourselves the hard way and that would be a waste of human effectiveness
@@Michelle-rj1kc it's hard but nice when you meet after a while. and the love is getting stronger. or you prefer meet your partner everyday but having often fight and mindgaming lol
Accountability is extremely important in relationships.
Both partners need to put in effort to make it work. Sadly, most relationships are at least somewhat one sided.
Sadly true
Love is an energy, love is a mystery, love is meant to be true. Love is a part of me, love is the heart of me, love is the best thing we do."
Who said that originally?
Going thru some of the things that she said, its not too late to change and if you both truly love one another then you can overcome anything. There is no manual on this and there is no perfect relationship. Expect errors and mistakes and own up to them but at the same time try not to beat down on yourself.
I'm trying to be a romance song writer. I need to revamp a lot of old lyrics.
Every single idea she conveyed is counterintuitive to current cultural ideas of love. If you follow the ideas conveyed in every single pop song about love you will ultimately achieve the opposite of what she is getting at
who else going through it rn
This is so needed for all mankind . There are so much people (dating coaches) talking about how to pick up girls, how to stun them , how have them go to bed with you but no talks about , how to truly love them , care for them , and really experience the bliss a man and a woman can experience with each other if they really were living the life God designed them to live .
The very first comments she made about an unhealthy relationship were exactly what my marriage was like, which Is why I left. All makes sense now.
Absolutely, well said - relationship problems impact every area of our life, and when our relationships are solid and healthy brings so many benefits. Sending love to all those souls bravely healing xx
lots arises in me
as I watch this video.
mainly this:
I'm falling,
again, for another
unavailable person...
because the illusion and fantasy and escape
of this person, is all I've got...
so I let myself fall.
let myself get attached.
because I'm old now,
and the deepest shame and agony
of my life, is that I've never-ever been
in an intimate-romantic relationship...
and the reality of this anguishes me, consumes me.
fills me with: grief, shame, rage, longing, loneliness, despair,
wanting, needing, desperation...
so I cling, achingly, to anyone
that shows me: any attention...
Summary: Having “Insight” to know yourself and your partner, Having “Mutuality” to meet both persons’ needs and give support, Having “Emotion Regulation Skill” to calmly deal with emotions you face in diverse situations.
Best comment ever, I will love to know you if you don’t mind
Hello dear friend, how are you and nice to meet you here, i want to say you really pretty.
Hello how are you doing
She hypnotized me.....
You have to master three things in order to have healthy romantic relationship: insight (common sense), mutuality (think not only about yourself, but also about your partner and his/her needs) and emotion regulation (emotional intelligence).

I've met a guy like a 2 months ago, we've been on lockdown toguether and I truly love him. I hope that we'll make things workout.
I think that this speech will totally help.
ahh romantic relationships !! i only use herbal enhancers for being romantic in bed . they help me so much there and my boyfrind says i'm awesome in bed . i like hearing that .
i agree, the best parts are the ends. actually i wento accoriding to the reviews on the internet and wanted to buy some just for fun bc my stamina is actaully awfuů. so i went with spanish fly pro and i'm really surprised. my stamina blew my man's mind even more than i thought
after many years of unhealthy relationships, I met the love of my life and am in a very healthy and rewarding relationship. It is good to know how it looks like, but it is more important to meet the right one and keep it strong.
what nationality is "he"?
How do you know he is the right one at the beginning?
The key of relationship is patience and communication. This is all about.
First sign of a troubled relationship; trying to convince social media how super happy the two of you actually are.
Today teaching HEALTHY relationships is vital!
Man she is so calming!! I love her voice.
What I can take from this is as a partner, we gotta be understanding, have a good faith in our partner, be calm and reasonable.
Thank you after many years and failed relationships my personal/business, I never once thought we as humans could crack the code with your partner to feel and maintain equality through all fronts, also knowing child hood trauma and the failure it created in me because all i wanted to do was forget to say anything to get out of it, could have saved allot of heartache, I will pursue Ms Davilla I look forward to the next discussion...
both people in the relationship need to develop the skills though otherwise it wont work but great ideas.

Do you have a troubled relationship?
You want your lover back to you?
Problems of a Cheating partner?
You want to fall into love with someone?
You tried your best but nothing is helping?
Can’t find your soul mate?
Your marriage is falling apart?
Attracted to someone who doesn’t care about you?
Fighting a lot with your spouse?
Having problems with someone who want your man or woman?
Trust issues
Your partner wont committee to you?
^this. she also states this in the beginning and near the end for a reason. relationships aren't carried by a single person. its not a relationship at that point
Yeah this was very “woman bear the burden” heavy.
that's implied by the definition of 'mutuality,' but i guess you don't actually know what words mean.
men can get away with a lot. and girls love them for it
I really liked the approach that this video took. I sent it to my partner, whom I think would really appreciate it! I love videos like this and I'm glad that you posted it 😄
The advice in this speech is priceless. If only I'd known these things before my last relationship. I hope to get it right next time.
This is the most important video conversation for our new or old generation to learn how to deal with their partners without putting the egos between their partner or love ones.
Will be watching for a while ❤️ some tools I have naturally adapted while tools I need to have in my toolbox of life ! I appreciate this so much 🤯🥰
A healthy relationship for the youngsters is must for better mental health
short summary:
1. respect each other
2. speak your mind
3. support each other
This is ultra helpful. I learned this the hard way! My SO and I went through rough patches because I'm always expecting him to know what I want even though I say otherwise. I forgot he's only a human like me! Take note, kids. Your partner and your relationship will surely be easier to handle if you are somehow emotionally competent.
I'm trying to write some romance songs. Hope you enjoy my journery.
I look back at my prior relationship and she deserves better. Early in the relationship trust was broken and it didn't function. Emotions were out of tune
Great woman in my eyes. But only God can repair this.
Best to step away
People should be talking about this and teaching this kind of things during junior high or high school. This was simply the best advice I’ve got so far regarding this topic! This really is an idea worth sharing.
Hi I'm Sofia, how are you doing
Fell in love with someone here to make sure it goes as best as possible
how it goes now ?
This is such a wonderful talk. As a mother this is what I try to teach my kids. Very well done👏👏👏
Very helpful and yes in school life skills should be taught and healthy relationships ❤️
I'm trying to write romance songs now. I think its needed. Eventually I'll get it right in song.
Wow, this has helped me so much and has opened my mind to a realm of new perspectives within a relationship
Following these skills! Manifesting and claiming it! I receive it! ❤️🙏🏼✨
making your needs know is what i am getting from this! Brilliant!
Joanne Davila's a great speaker on this topic!
I really enjoyed this video! I always struggle with not being so trusting towards my partner and my emotional regulation sucks! But this made perfect sense and I will be applying these tips from here on out.
Emotion Regulation! For me, this is THE key skill in any relationship! Truly adore this TedX Talk...
The way to have healthy relationships is to grow up in households where emotional needs are met. PERIOD! You must learn all of these things at home.
I really wish that I was taught about this as I was entering my teens. I started off in an abusive relationship and all the people around me saw, but did nothing, said nothing, and as a 28 year old, I'm just barely breaking that cycle. It destroyed my life and my health- just like she said, not just mental health, but I have had chronic illness ever since I remember. It can destroy your finances, your ability to make friends, your ability to do well in school and go to college. And people don't teach it.
We know in the back of our head this is not right but if you have never seen a healthy relationship, you may not be sure of one then end up in an unhealthy one.
Way to go Dr. Davila....We need more discussion of interpersonal and emotional skills throughout life...not to mention at younger ages....spread the word.
Hello how are you doing
