Description
Get off the middle! Have your toughest couples work harder than you for faster, better results. Most therapists work too hard when seeing severely distressed couples. By combining neuroscience, attachment and differentiation theory you can often make rapid gains with less effort. The core of this workshop is on creating an environment in which the work of therapy is simpler for you and your clients.
Specific foci include methods to transform the couple’s attitude towards change – increasingly important with clients’ level of distress, skyrocket homework compliance by making homework agreeable, measurable and far less confrontational, apply the “Safe and Sane” communication process, restore trust the sine qua non of a successful future and pave the way for couples’ change.
Best of all, learn how to make the process of couples therapy a collaborative and more enjoyable journey.
