She has a private practice in Lexington, Massachusetts, which specializes in relational psychopharmacology and therapy for people who suffer from chronic disconnection. Dr. Banks studies love. More specifically, she studies relational neuroscience, and is publishing a new book with her major findings in the realm of love: 1. It's not actually as important to have a strong sense of self as it is to have a significant other; 2. That friend that ALWAYS chooses the wrong guy isn't weak. A bad relationship reprograms your neuropathways to seek out similar relationships in the future. She needs to recondition her brain - not just to take a good hard look in the mirror. Join us for a dynamic conversation revealing the latest scientific research on love and attraction.

What is the correct answer? You’ll find out in this essential interview with Kimberley Heart.
