Presented at the In Bloom Summit 2025

Conflict isn’t the problem—it’s how you handle it that matters. In this first-of-its-kind session, Drs. John and Julie Gottman walk us through research-backed techniques from the Gottman Institute, grounded in decades of scientific study on what makes relationships thrive.

They get at how to replace toxic patterns like criticism and defensiveness with strategies that foster emotional intimacy. Through engaging stories and actionable insights, the Gottmans offer practical tools for making repair attempts and creating stronger, more resilient connections.
