Description

If the nervous system isn’t “settledenough,” there’s no use in having a dialogue.

The frustrations of dealing with couples may be overpowering at times. Couples who readily become angry and hostile toward each other, or who become emotionally shut off in session, can make treatment unsatisfying for both the counselor and the client. If you spend too much time dealing with such reactions, leaving little opportunity to address the issues that brought them into treatment, this session offers a solution for you!

This program with couples’ therapist Deborah Fox, MSW, LISCW, will show you how to leverage the autonomic nervous system’s natural workings to help couples participate more successfully in session.

And then you’ll have enough time in session to address their issues rather than their response.

Every couple’s and sex therapist’s arsenal should include Somatic Intervention techniques. Couples who become emotionally aroused or shut down are feeling threatened. Their neurological system is activated to defend them. The therapeutic process can progress with skilled, body-based intervention.

It is critical to learn how to respond successfully at the first hint that their neurological system is communicating danger. Body-based therapy procedures allow the therapist to assist the couple in delving deeper into the origins of their misery in order for constructive solutions to emerge.
