Many of us may think that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of healthy relationships, but the truth is that human interactions are messy, complicated, and confusing. And according to renowned psychologist Ed Tronick PhD and pediatrician Claudia Gold, that is not only okay, but it is also actually crucial to our social and emotional development. Working through the volley of mismatch and repair in everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships, resilience in times of stress and trauma, and a solid sense of self in the world. Tronick, a developmental and clinical psychologist, has been featured by Nova, 60 Minutes, the NY Times, and the Boston Globe, among others, and speaks to audiences worldwide.
