Dr. Hightower works with a couple, two doctors, to help them identify
relationship impasses and to develop interpersonal skills to negotiate their
relationship.
Berman and Berman
Discovery Health Show
Dr. Hightower worked with several couples
that acted out various common and unharmonious (dysfunctional) couple
scenarios. Dr. Hightower addressed one woman's demeanor, helping her to soften her
vocal tone and facial expressions, thereby de-escalating and regulating the
argument, and allowing her to define and ask for what it is she is
needing. Now her partner will not feel attacked or criticized and can stay in
connection with her allowing a "soft dialogue" to unfold, as opposed to her
partner becoming defensive, belligerent or withdrawing. Dr. Tess also
explored controversial issues that have surfaced between men and women since
women have successfully entered the heretofore male dominated workplace and
corporate structure. These dilemmas include, who pays for dinner? who has
more income? what are the woman's expectations around paying and her value?
Are we wedded to traditional roles (our parents) or can we go Dutch without the
man feeling emasculated?
