About this listen

Can fighting over text actually help your relationship? Therapist and author Jonathan Van Viegen thinks so—and his no-nonsense, anti-jargon approach to couples therapy is reshaping how partners communicate, connect, and build lasting love.

In this episode of Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bulitt sit down with Jonathan to discuss:

Why emotional flooding shuts down productive conversation

The problem with over-focusing on "triggers"

Why traditional therapy labels like "attachment styles" can be harmful

How to shift focus from problems to possibilities

The power of physical connection as a relationship barometer

Jonathan’s take on curiosity, self-reflection, and shared identity

Whether you’re newlyweds or decades in, this conversation challenges the conventional and encourages couples to reimagine how they show up for one another—every single day.
