About the Book
Connection, Redefined
Everyday digital behaviors like frequent phone use, social media scrolling, and chasing “likes” online can seem harmless, but they gradually erode intimacy, attachment, and trust in relationships. Unlike more obvious challenges that couples face, these digital behaviors often blend into daily routines, making their effects harder to detect until disconnection has already set in.
In Couples Therapy in the Digital Age, expert couples therapist and clinical sexologist Dr. Anna Elton provides practical, research-based strategies, interventions, and real-world examples to help couples reconnect and rebuild intimacy in today’s tech-driven world.
This book bridges the gap between clinical insight and everyday life, giving both clinicians and couples the tools to understand, address, and heal the quiet erosion that screens can cause in our most intimate relationships.
