Episode 100: Dr Glenn & Phyllis Hill | Connection Codes

This week Clint speaks with Dr Glenn & Phyllis Hill.  Dr Glenn and Phyllis have developed a proven tool to help conquer conflict in relationships in just 4 minutes. After experiencing 30 years of a painful marriage, Dr. Glenn decided to go back to school to find out what was making his marriage so bad. He received his masters in Marriage & Family Therapy and a doctorate in Clinical Sexology.

Dr Glenn spent many of those years researching emotions and studying how the brain fires when we experience them. This led him to discover what is causing couples to disconnect and it was Phyllis who turned it around to find what causes couples to connect- now known as the Connection Codes.

There are a lot of thought leaders currently teaching about identifying emotions. BUT what do you do with the emotion after you identify it? Dr Glenn & Phyllis have the answer. They have witnessed couples who had signed divorce papers reunite, they have seen incomes double, health diagnosis reversed, and sexless marriages experience joy in sex. All through using their system.

They are on a quest to share the Connection Codes with the world.

It is based in the science of the human condition. When doing his research Dr Glenn studied the behaviors of infants and children. He realized we all have these tools built in, we were simply reprogramed along the way. He & Phyllis are now helping people get back to their core and live connected.
