Deepening the Dialogue RECORDING

Picture those sessions in which the dialogue is hijacked by defensiveness, stonewalling, or angry outbursts. Picture those sessions that even after a productive dialogue you’ve been left thinking, “There’s more here – how do I help this couple dig deeper?”

In this workshop participants will learn body-based strategies that can help their couples both regulate themselves from a nervous system perspective and delve more deeply into the sources of distress held in the implicit memory that aren’t available to them cognitively. Participants will learn to read the language of the body which speaks in gestures, facial expressions, breathing changes, etc., along with skilled somatic interventions that can effectively enable the dialogue to soften reactivity, get to the heart of the source of the disconnection, and facilitate memory reconsolidation. Half of the workshop will be experiential to enable participants to walk away with new tools that they can put into practice.
