Discover practical techniques like the "ouch" method to de-escalate tensions and support partners in developing deeper understanding and authentic connection.
Syllabus Description: Using a developmental lens is a powerful way to lead couples to make sustained change. Learn how developmental principles can help you assess what is wrong and then guide and shape your treatment decisions. Videotapes and clinical case examples will be used throughout the workshop to demonstrate how to challenge symbiosis, facilitate differentiation and build the capacities to sustain intimacy.
