  Love on Trial: When Relationship Therapy Feels Like a Courtroom

  Susan Close, LCPC, LMHC, Owner | Psychotherapist, Susan Close Psychotherapy & Wellness

  Many couples come into conflict believing they are arguing about the same issue—but often they are trying to solve entirely different problems. One person is fighting for reassurance. The other is fighting for fairness. One wants understanding. The other wants the argument to end. In this witty, eye-opening presentation, psychotherapist Susan Close shares what she has learned from years in the therapy room, where conflict can sound less like connection and more like cross-examination. MORE >

  With humor, relatable stories, and practical tools, Susan helps audiences recognize common traps like mindreading, defensiveness, scorekeeping, assumption-making, and trying to win instead of understand.

  Attendees leave with strategies to slow conflict down, communicate more effectively, and move from opposition to partnership.
