On her captivating show "Couple's Therapy," Orna Guralnik attempts to ferry partnerships through conflict to resolution.
Sometimes that means finding common ground.
Other times it means dissolving the relationship.
Guralnik, who is a New York-based clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, says one of the most crucial parts of her job is helping people better communicate and listen, two acts that should go hand-in-hand but can often distract from one another.
There is one specific conversation Guralnik says "people spend so much time" on but is never productive: "When people approach a conversation with the idea that what they need to do is convince their partner that what they are saying is not true, it's going to be a bad conversation that is basically going to go nowhere."
