Meet Dr. Susan Heitler, Ph.D.
Psychologist | Author | Marriage Counselor
Dr. Susan Heitler is a leading expert in the fields of psychotherapy and marriage counseling. In her groundbreaking book From Conflict to Resolution, Dr. Heitler explains how emotional distress often stems from problematic responses to life’s inevitable “bumps”—the challenges, frustrations, and dilemmas we face that leave us feeling conflicted and unsure of how to proceed.
Resolving conflicts generally necessitates
- discovering the earlier-in-life sources of strong emotions triggered by the conflict
- clarifying reciprocal interaction cycles, that is, how each spouses’ reactions to their deeper issues may inadvertently trigger their partner’s emotional reactivity, and
- building skills for sustaining the emotional stability and consistently cooperative dialogue necessary for win-win conflict resolution,
