• If you ask about their goals or how you can help, you quickly get intense cross complaints, and pressure to fix their partner.
• Simply trying to understand their problems and asking about their goals can be a toxic beginning as their defensiveness and trauma get re-triggered.
• This innovative approach is the result of 30 years of seeing couples and searching for a better beginning.
• In this workshop you will understand how to have each person identify their role in the distress, accept accountability for self-change, identify personal growth changes that are a stretch, create the foundation to work as a team and do it all with a spirit of cooperation and positive strokes.
