If the heart is a muscle, then we need to continue to strengthen it. But what about these “micro-bursts…” As Laura says about little bits of attention…. “micro-bursts of connection.” They are…

Sending a text
A winkie emoji
“You look cute. I hope your meeting goes well.”
Hugging someone for 2 seconds

These little transactions build love and build connections. These things set a precedent. They set a new norm that people benefit from.

Transparency & Micro-Bursts of Connections

Laura Silverstein

Hi, I’m Laura.

Love is an action verb, not a passive noun. I guide busy couples to revive their relationships with science-backed, action-oriented advice one conversation at a time. As a speaker, author, trainer, and Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, I have spent 30 years learning what makes long-lasting love and what leads to slow, steady relationship decline. I am a lifelong learner who has had the privilege to learn from renowned relational psychologists, fearless clients, readers, and my family, who know first-hand that I don’t always “practice what I preach” (but am always committed to doing better).

I am fiercely passionate about equity and inclusion, and this next phase in my career is about sharing what I know with as many people as possible, especially those who might not need or have access to, traditional couples therapy. I strive to make no assumptions about who you love or how you love.
