Working With Couples

Working with couples can be an exciting & rich experience. But it often includes repetitive battling with clients; complaints that you don’t understand one or both of them; the sense of being watched and judged; and unnecessary treatment failures.

This seminar will give you tools to make couples therapy more robust and more personally satisfying.

Topics covered include:

• Doing a high-impact intake that also motivates
• Helping couples set goals for therapy
• Helping couples negotiate — & keep — agreements
• Helping couples cooperate when angry
• What makes a good question?
• Evaluating and working with health issues
• Identifying and challenging couples’ narratives
• The myth of “we have a communication problem”
• Using language to communicate with couples’ unconscious, so they learn on multiple levels

This program will make your work deeper & more personally satisfying-and you’ll have fun listening!
