Relationship expert and licensed Marriage, Family and Child counselor Dr. Pat Allen has been a legend in the psychology field for over three decades. She’s the author of the longtime bestseller Getting to I Do (now in its 32nd printing and about which, she jokes, sells so well because women are so initially horrified by its “50s mentality” that they throw it away and later have to buy it again). She’s written numerous other books, appeared repeatedly on Oprah, Geraldo, Blind Date and many more and is also a certified addictions specialist. In her twice-weekly Los Angeles seminars, she walks women and men through her communication techniques that result in romantic unions. She’s also been sober from drugs and alcohol for several decades and abstinent from sugar for 11 years. In this episode, she and I talk about how she started drinking at the age of five (!), ways women can be “men” in the workplace and “women” in their personal lives and marrying a man who used her own courting techniques on her, among other topics.
