Description

Description:

Couples come to therapy and say “we can’t communicate.” They want your help with communication. Yet effective communication often reveals trauma, accumulated resentment, narcissism or anxiety about intimacy. Resolution requires internal self development that may be resisted by one or both partners. This advanced workshop will use video and clinical transcripts to demonstrate the intricacies of resolving predictable communication breakdowns and supporting development.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Describe a continuum in the development of empathy during couples therapy.
  2. Demonstrate a communication process that illuminates developmental impasses. 
  3. List three predictive communication breakdowns and how to resolve them.
