What are the forces that bring people together, and then pull them apart? What does it take to choose love?
Join Dr Orna Guralnik, clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst and star of the critically acclaimed docuseries Couples Therapy, now in its fifth season, for an evening uncovering the hidden architecture of our closest relationships.
Drawing on her new book Couples: On Loving Another and her decades of experience in the consulting room, Orna reveals why the arguments couples have – about sex, money, parenting and who does the washing up – are rarely about those things at all. Underneath sit our childhoods, our traumas and the cultural scripts we inherit. Let Orna walk you through the process of psychoanalytic listening she uses to help couples break the patterns they re-enact again and again, and explain why the central crisis of every relationship – your partner is not you! – may turn out to be its greatest gift.
With the opportunity to also ask Orna your own questions, this special evening is not to be missed.
“Couples should be required reading for everyone who’s been in love, who’s in love now, or who hopes to fall in love.” Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize author of The Hours
