This talk introduces key insights from "Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship", focusing on the concept of “loving power”—a blend of assertiveness and cherishing. It examines how patriarchy and individualism contribute to relational trauma and offers strategies from Relational Life Therapy (RLT), including loving confrontation, trauma repair, and skill-building. Emphasis is placed on self-disclosure, humility, and cultivating authentic connection.
