Thank you for this v. useful session. I am going to work with my first online couple this week so I am grateful for your expertise.
You are always so succinct and that is so appreciated. I’ve been doing couples therapy for a few decades and sometimes I’m not even aware of what has become standard operations for me. I so enjoy getting re-juiced with all your excellent presentations. Thank you. I would like to see the document you sent it out to couples before they come in for therapy but I could not access it by going on your website. Is there anyway I can take a peek at that?
Thanks
Great information as always!
One question: what do you do to address the “privacy “ issues when you see each individual in a separate session especially if they have “secrets” or just want to tell you more separately from their partner?
Could you give the name of the Couples Blog on the sample that you usually send out to couples prior to the first interview? I too and not sure which one it is? This is a great series! I appreciate your work.
Here is the blog

Thank you! A great blog!
The developmental perspective is a helpful model for seeing what the couple might need to work on together and as individuals. I found the need for the therapist to take control of the session a revelation and a breakthrough. thank you!
