Description

Description:

This workshop will identify the common mistakes in working with mixed-agenda couples (one leaning out and the other leaning in), and will teach you a protocol for “Discernment Counseling” to help clients make a decision that has integrity for all involved and that improves the odds that couples will try therapy to heal their broken bond.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Identify the most common mistakes therapists make in working with couples that present with opposite wishes for staying together versus breaking up.
  2. Discuss a protocol for working with these mixed agenda couples.
