Esther Perel Instagram – These last weeks as I’ve pored over the news, articles, and clinical analysis, a few articles have shifted my perspective or illuminated this crisis in a new way. Amanda Ripley’s review of Peter Coleman’s “intractable conflict” was one such article. It reminded me how embattled we can become in opposition, a phenomenon I see in my office, on social media, and in global politics.  The response to the war in the Middle East is a tragic example, and the way we perpetuate it here online only entrenches us further. We need voices of mediation and unity today, more than ever.
