Description
Description: Introduces Core Negative Images (CNIs) and Dead Stop Contracts as tools in Relational Recovery Therapy to help couples identify and shift destructive patterns. Explores common dynamics like control, criticism, and withdrawal, and how family of origin shapes behavior. Uses the Relationship Grid to teach healthy boundaries and self-esteem. Emphasizes truth, compassion, and mutual empowerment as foundations for deeper connection and sustainable intimacy.
Syllabus Description: Couples notoriously have the same fight for 40 years. They're not speaking to each other, but to each other's core negative image. This workshop teaches participants to identify and share each partner's CNI of the other, how these CNis interact to produce vicious circles and how to break the pattern.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe two ways to deal effectively with grandiosity.
- To describe two ways to engage each partner's "best self."
