This workshop explores a developmental psychobiological approach to intimacy, showing how the brain’s automatic responses, attachment styles, and arousal levels shape relationship dynamics. It covers how subtle cues like eye contact and microexpressions reveal emotional states, and why co-regulation is key to managing conflict. The approach supports using longer, more frequent sessions to help couples stay connected and repair quickly when things go wrong.
This short course invites therapists to reflect on midlife as a turning point rather than a crisis. Through personal stories, audience dialogue, and Jungian-informed themes, it explores identity shifts, loss, vitality, aging, and the search for meaning as outer roles change and inner questions grow louder. The session offers a thoughtful, experience-near way to understand midlife transitions in both clients and clinicians, with an emphasis on resilience, generativity, and living more consciously into the second half of life
