<b>Highly conflicted couples</b> enter the therapy room

Highly conflicted couples enter the therapy room

armed with fierce protectors who keep the shame, hurt, rejection and loneliness of exiles well hidden from both the clients and the therapist.

Clients, therapist and the therapy remain stuck as parts engage in extreme protective roles and a series of repetitive patterns of behavior that have a positive intent, but are actually causing harm.

In this workshop, IFS will bring a new perspective to working with such challenging couples. Participants will find new ways to engage them in treatment, in a meaningful way.

Through a series of compassionate IFS interventions, participants will bring safety and connection to the therapy room and guide the conflicted couple out of entrenched roles and interactions.
