What do you hope the listeners will gain from hearing ‘What do we do now’?

I hope the listeners will gain insight into the drama we all live around contact and broken connection. The therapy focuses on creating and strengthening the emotional bond between partners by identifying and changing the crucial moments that nurture an adult love relationship; being open, putting oneself in each other's shoes, and being engaged right where vulnerability calls for it.
