Do you dread sessions with the angry, bitter, hostile couple?
That seems impossible to help because they are so emotionally charged and committed to being right?
If you ever had a session with this type of couple you’ve surely noticed that some partners are unshakably committed to their positions.
But only a small percentage of therapists know how to skillfully break through rigid defenses and defuse so much hostility.
After decades of seeing couples, we finally discovered an approach that smoothes the way with hostile angry couples and puts you in the leadership role instead of a reactionary one.
It works with existing angry clients or new clients and Dr. Ellyn Bader teaches it in a 2-hour training designed to help you learn how to reduce hostility and conflict, while promoting an environment of healing necessary for breakthroughs.
With the tools and skills presented in the Hostile Angry Couple training course, you might even discover that you enjoy working with these couples who can be otherwise intimidating.
Even if you work with angry couples already, you might find some surprising and useful approaches in this special offer.
The strategies taught in the course can change the way you do therapy with couples.

“But Ellyn, I’m not seeing very many couples in my practice currently. Can this still help me?"
YES!
Whether you work with couples or individuals, you’re bound to end up with an angry client in your office. The tools you learn in this guide help you manage the anger in a constructive way and support your leadership in high intensity situations.
If you’re interested in seeing more couples, this guide equips you with what you need to feel comfortable taking on new clients, especially ones with built up resentment and bitterness. And you’ll learn a proven way to recover if you’ve made a mistake or if the couple doesn’t respond well to something you’ve asked or said (all is not lost)!
You’ll also discover how to structure the first few sessions with these clients so they don’t have the same complaints about you that they have about therapists they’ve worked with in the past.
Learn how to be a strong leader, set firm boundaries, and address underlying deficits without letting either partner bully you into discussing the fight of the week!
