Description
Description: A powerful couples therapy technique that transforms communication by teaching partners to take turns sharing and listening. One partner expresses concerns without blame, while the other asks empathetic questions, fostering deeper understanding and personal growth. Dr. Ellen Bader demonstrates how this method helps couples build self-awareness, manage tension, and create more meaningful connections.
Syllabus Description: Couples say they want better communication often without having the developmental capacities to bring about what they so desperately desire. The Initiator-Inquirer Process can be used to increase clients' capacity for empathy, self-definition and giving when it is not convenient.
Learning Objectives
1. Delineate 2 roles that increase communication when couples are emotionally triggered.
2. Demonstrate how to support partners in effectively initiating a topic that matters to them.
3. Review the continuum of empathy development.
