Description
Description: Leading voices in couples therapy explore diverse, evidence-informed approaches. The Gottmans draw from decades of research to explain the Sound Relationship House and how couples build intimacy through small, daily moments. Hendrix outlines the value of structured dialogue in healing relational wounds. Weiner-Davis highlights the power of action-based interventions that build skills and restore hope. Together, the panelists reflect on shared clinical values—like adaptability, warmth, and curiosity—and how these principles can guide therapists working with conflict, trauma, and differences in sexual desire.
