Relationships change us.
We should let them.
For years, I've listened to people try to explain what happens to love. I think it's stranger, more astonishing, and full of more possibility than we've begun to imagine.
About Andrea
relationship psychologist • author • podcast host
In 2007, I saw Across the Universe in a theater in Times Square. Afterward, I went out onto an empty rooftop terrace, listening to the soundtrack. I felt so full of possibility that I thought I might explode.
I got bigger that night. And it’s the why of everything I say.
I'm a relationship psychologist. I spend my days trying to understand the emotional logic of love: what we're longing for, what we're afraid of, why we get stuck, and what becomes possible when we understand each other.
Somehow I keep editing the magic out of that story, because I'm afraid you'll think I'm some silly girl. But I'm not. I'm right.
Love is magical, and I have the research to prove it.
