- Short Description:
- When One or Both Partners are Highly Cognitive or Emotionally Avoidant. Accessing and deepening vulnerable emotions that are at first hidden, unspoken, unknown or masked by reactive and protective emotions is one of the most powerful skills of an emotionally focused couples therapist. Emotionally focused therapists facilitate emotionally moving enactments by guiding avoidant partners to turn to their partner and to share with them about their pain, sadness and fears.

This workshop examines how such dynamics play out in romantic relationships, offering practical strategies—like proximity-based interventions and structured dyadic exercises—to support co-regulation and foster secure relating.
