Description
Description: Explore couples therapy techniques for addressing hostile, angry partners. Learn specialized strategies for managing conflict, processing emotional trauma, and helping couples develop effective communication skills. Includes practical interventions like the Twilight Zone exercise and rapid repair technique, with insights into relationship dynamics and therapeutic approaches.
Syllabus Description: Overtly angry and passive-aggressive partners often present the most difficulty for therapists. They frequently demand intimacy, while being unable to create the conditions for intimacy to occur or be sustained. They require a high level of activity from you to structure treatment, manage hostility in the office and confront hypocrisies that keep their development stalled. Learn to increase your personal strengths to harness the enormous developmental potential that exists in these couples.
Educational Objectives:
