Course overview

Do escalated couples and families make you want to quit being a therapist? Join us as we explore those moments of greatest difficulty in sessions, from still-face to high reactivity to despair and rage. Shut-down withdrawers and hostile pursuers often bring out the worst in therapists. Our best attempts at creating positive change often lead to more silence or further criticism. Grounded in the neuroscience of human attachment, this training takesthe best of proven interventions and applies them to the recurring blocks and triggers that all therapists encounter. Learn skills to match the affect of partners and help them put words to their inner experience, shifting their focus from blaming their partner(view-of-other) to their own vulnerability(view-of-self). Renew your confidence by getting help in the areas where you lose focus and get lost in reactivity and mis-attunement. Learn multiple strategies to make explicit, expand and work through the blocks and defenses we all experience. Go deeper with George as he breaks down the moment-to-moment decisions that inform the treatment process so you can immediately incorporate powerful, proven techniques into your own work. Through video clips, experiential activities and vibrant dialogue, we will learn how to freshen up, better attune, and refine our skills.
