The CORE Temperament Method of Understanding Who YOU Are with Dr. Denim L. Slade

Dr. Denim L. Slade has always been intrigued by humans and our social interactions. Over the 20 years that he has been doing therapy, he has studied, he has sought to first understand people and then employ his knowledge and techniques to help people be healthy and happy in their lives and relationships.

Dr. Slade has a firm belief, born out of thousands and thousands of hours of study and clinical experience, that there are certain elements about each of us that simply do not change and that they don’t change because they are not changeable. That may sound odd coming from someone whose entire career has been dedicated to helping people change. That is exactly why he believes that understanding temperament is so essential--and I agree with him! We both believe that as we understand ourselves--why we do the things we do and why we don’t do many of the things that we don't do--we are much more effectively able to change the things that we absolutely can, and in many cases, need to change in order for our lives to be healthy and happy. And when we are able to combine that with an in-depth understanding of the important people in our lives, we have a change accelerator that is incredibly powerful.

This episode is a little longer than most, but I believe it is worth your time to listen. So, grab a notebook, get comfy, and enjoy this fascinating conversation.
