The Marriage Of (6.5 CEs) 5/25

This workshop will describe an EMDR based approach to couples therapy combing the best of individual and systemic ideas. Dysfunctional patterns of relating in the family of origin can imprint themselves on the relational template of adults, only to be re-enacted in the contemporary couple’s relationship. Because EMDR can be effective at transforming these earlier relational traumas, adults can become less reactive, enjoy greater distress tolerance, and have a more resilient ego boundary. Participants will learn a method for turning “relational problems” into psychological solutions by utilizing EMDR in their conjoint therapy.
