If you’re a therapist or coach who has ever felt frustrated or lost working with couples, this 12-hour online course is for you!
Get introduced to Encounter-Centered Couples Therapy (EcCT), a theory and methodology of conducting relationship therapy based on the work of Hedy Schleifer, Master Relationship Builder. EcCT helps individuals fully connect with their partners, allowing them to become more mature and creative together. It is used by trained therapists around the world and has been shown to be effective in facilitating deep communication and emotional connection for couples.
The principles of Encounter-Centered Couples Therapy can be incorporated with other modalities to create safety and deeper connection. Familiarizing yourself with EcCT will set you apart from your colleagues as you learn the structure to facilitate a 2-Day Intensive. These longer sessions encourage a process called ‘From Rupture to Repair’ in the intimate relationship. The structure will also serve clinicians who want to facilitate couples’ workshops and retreats.
- Distinguish between an individual and a relational paradigm.
- Review how neuroscience informs couples therapy.
- Build a collaborative foundation with the couple for the work.
- Identify the survival dance that disconnects couples.
- Apply the Three Invisible Connectors to create safety and connection.
- Facilitate Level Three learning to create lasting change.
- Focus on the importance of co-regulation in the therapy room.
- Structure a 2-Day Couples’ Intensive.
