New Teleclass with Terry Real: The Hard Questions and The Nuts and Bolts

Terry Real and I are continuing our teleclass series with an exciting and rewarding 5-session course exploring clinical perspectives and interventions for the really tough situations you face in couples therapy. This practical workshop will give you skills you can use on Monday morning.

Class starts July 2nd – All classes are recorded and available for download. Can’t join live? No problem! Register and you’ll receive recordings and handouts to listen at your convenience.

EARLY BIRD pricing is available NOW through Friday, June 20th (save 45$!)

This 5 session course will cover the following topics:

1. How to approach a first session to set up the therapy: motivation and readiness; tools and strategies; interaction with therapist – moving couples from resentment to understanding, accountability, repair and appreciation.

2. New narratives: The healing power of reframing: How to construct new, empowering stories; how do we create with our clients stories that are dissimilar enough from those they walk in with to promote change and similar enough to be taken in.

3. We all marry our unfinished business: Working with family of origin. An in-depth discussion of how to work with a partner’s childhood and their multigenerational legacy as it impacts the couples now.

4. Therapists’ use self and self-preservation. A close look at your existential and clinical assumptions, your moral values and personal experiences and how they influence your therapeutic work.

5. Talking about sexuality with couples: Introducing a non-shaming sex positive vocabulary. Strategies for couples to step out of sexual impasses and reconnect with the erotic.

You can still register for this class after the start date.

Recordings of each session will be emailed to you for you to download and listen to again or if you missed any class live. DETAILS ON JOINING THE CALLS WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU ONCE YOU HAVE REGISTERED.

CEUs: 5 Continuing Ed Credits will be offered when the course has completed. Instructions to request credits will be emailed to all registrants after the final class July 30th. Cost is $20 payable at that time.
