(HS Tatkin 096387 2024) Balancing Love and Self

Course overview

Sometimes one person's needs in a relationship conflict with what the partnership requires. How do you balance both? Romantic partnerships based in secure functioning--where partners make their connection a priority while also caring for themselves--must achieve this balance. In this workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of PACT, a developmental approach to couples therapy that combines neuroscience, arousal regulation, and attachment theory. We'll explore: Live demonstrations of "containers," a unique organization method for assessing, intervening, and measuring a couple's progress Assess and treat developmental roadblocks that partners bring into adult relationships How to create a secure-functioning relational system, one that emphasizes shared power and authority as well as fairness, justice, and mutual sensitivity
