Description

Description:

Passive aggressive spouses challenge even seasoned couple’s therapists. One partner over functions and the other under functions. Both become entrenched in this pattern. And the passive aggressive partner stubbornly resists your best insights and agreements for change. As conventional therapy often falls flat with this couple, I will do a demonstration showing you to stay out of the middle and create an unconventional leverage for change. Leave with a comprehensive framework for changing these systems.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Effectively confront broken homework agreements.
  2. Interrupt the over-functioning of the passive aggressive spouse.
  3. Describe the origin of the PA dynamic.
  4. Start their change before the first session.
