- Short Description:
- This one-hour speech focuses on what all couple therapists should at least consider: social justice and fairness agreements between partners. The human primate is warlike, self-centered, mostly automatic, and given to flights of fancy, moodiness, and other unpredictable feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Thus, the social science predicate of civilization dictates that, to hold human beings accountable, there must be agreements between individuals that protect them from one another.

- Addiction rarely exists in isolation. In this sweeping workshop, Stephanie Brown weaves developmental theory, attachment, trauma, and systems thinking into a clear map of how addictive couples and families unravel and recover over time. She challenges therapists to rethink intervention, track stage-specific tasks, and resist premature “couples work” until individual recovery is rooted. The result is a clinically practical framework for understanding relapse, growth, and the long arc of relational healing.

- This keynote offers a clear, humane rethinking of forgiveness, distinguishing genuine repair from pressure to “just let it go.” Through vivid stories and clinical examples, it shows why forgiveness must be earned through accountability, empathy and meaningful change, and why “acceptance” is often the healthier path when offenders can’t or won’t make amends. Participants learn how interpersonal injuries are healed, how partners can rebuild trust, and how self-respect, clarity and resilience guide the choice to forgive—or not.
