Listen to us discuss the toughest couples. Although there’s no conclusive research on the best ways to work with these couples, there are principles that make a difference. And you will hear them on this recording.
As you listen, you will hear us cover:
- What makes the toughest couples so difficult, including blame, victimization and passivity
- Leadership -the crucial factor rarely taught if you are going to be successful with these challenging couples
- The real reasons for low motivation in couples therapy
- How to respond to the common complaint, “I love my partner but I am not in love”
- How to confidently respond when clients ask if they should stay in a relationship or leave their partner
- Traps in resolving infidelity
- The use of three targeted questions to increase accountability
- And much more.
As we discussed on the call, the key to working with tough couples is to find innovative new techniques, practice them, and practice them again.
