Join Dr. Anna Elton, licensed marriage and family therapist, clinical sexologist, and author of The Formula of Desire, for a compelling keynote exploring what drives connection, attraction, and disconnection in long-term relationships.
Drawing from clinical practice, research, and real-world relational patterns, this session examines how desire evolves over time, why it often fades, and what actually restores it. Dr. Elton introduces practical frameworks to help professionals better understand the interplay between emotional connection, communication, stress, and intimacy, offering tools that can be applied directly in clinical work with individuals, couples, and families.
