3 weekends in Feb 2021- Series IV Working with couples

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous…. Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn’t feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.  – Brené Brown

 “I’ll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours: working experientially with couples”

A 3-weekend online training for counselors and therapists to learn how to move couples from conflict to connection. Working with a couple can be challenging unless both partners are prepared to be vulnerable and share their early wounding. In this workshop we will experience creative ways to guide partners to greater understanding and compassion for self so they can share their vulnerabilities with each other. The goal is to externalize their wounded child(ren) so they can get on with the healing process

What is psychodrama?
This is essentially a group action method. This could be used in clinical settings(hospitals, therapy centers), non-clinical settings like a business establishment in team building, conflict management, stress management, identifying and working with stress, improving communication, building trust, identifying issues etc. This method is a spontaneous and creative method which is used by well trained and certified psychodramtists who are usually called the Psychodrama director. A director enables or facilitates are enactment of real-life situations, past incidents or situations or an inner mental process but acting them out in the present time.

What is IMAGO?

Imago Relationship Therapy was created by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, co-authors of many books including “Getting The Love You Want”. It’s method teaches couples how to move from conflict to connection. It’s philosophy explains how we have an unconscious drive or need to finish unfinished business from childhood. When these needs show up in our primary relationships they can cause disruption. The method and philosophy together make Imago a complete therapeutic treatment.
