From Communication to Repair

In this clip, Jason Price LMFT of Affiliates in Counseling and Dr. Brandon Gimbel of North Star Behavioral Health explore what really happens in couples therapy—from early-stage communication patterns to the deeper emotional wounds that accumulate over time. They talk about how long-term relationships can become entrenched in unhelpful dynamics, and how therapy can help couples move from frustration to repair by re-learning how to connect.

Our Book: The Hard Work of Healing

Essays from clinicians, clergy, and mindfulness teachers.

What does healing look like in real life?

This collection brings together twelve contributors—therapists, clergy, and mindfulness teachers—each reflecting on moments of pain, presence, and transformation.

Edited by Dr. Brandon Gimbel, The Hard Work of Healing is available in print and as a free PDF.
