Therapists are encouraged to take the long view, helping partners face uncomfortable truths while strengthening alliance and accountability.

- Short Description:
- This conversation introduces a polytheoretical approach to couple therapy grounded in secure functioning—a fair, just, and sensitive two-person system. It integrates attachment theory, arousal regulation, and developmental neurobiology. Techniques include supportive confrontation, cross-tracking, and "going down the middle" to engage both partners effectively. Practical strategies are offered for managing distancing and clinging dynamics and building strong therapeutic alliances.
