MURFREESBORO — Two
relationship experts will bring their knowledge of what makes couples click to
MTSU.
“Loving Right: Earn Me Mind, Body and Heart” is slated for 7
p.m. Tuesday, April 5, in the Learning Resources Center. A printable campus map
is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap.
Dr. Joni Frater and Esther Lastique developed their program
in 2013. The topics they will cover include effectively communicating what one
needs to feel loved; understanding signs of unhealthy relationships, especially
those that have the potential to spiral downward into violence; and empowering
students to recognize unhealthy dating behaviors.
Lastique, a graduate of State University of New York at
Stony Brook, is a lifelong activist for women’s rights and gay rights.
In 1989, she was chosen as one of Glamour Magazine’s Top Ten
College Women for her commitment to activism. She established an art gallery
upon graduation.
Frater, a graduate of Columbia University and Tufts Dental
School, developed a unique approach to helping patients overcome their fear of
dentistry using humor, patience and sensitivity before embarking on her career
as a “sexologist.”
Together, they are authors of the Amazon bestseller “Love
Her Right,” which grew out of their mutual desire to help end relationship
failure after feeling the heartache of divorce in their own families. They have
been partners in life as well as in business for the last 11 years.
This event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored
by the June Anderson Center for Women and Nontraditional Students, the Student
Government Association and MTSU Health Promotion.
