Instructors: Kerry Lusignan, LMHC
This workshop focused on the challenges of working with the dysregulation of distressed couples and provided assessments and interventions to support them. It drew on a number of methods falling under the rubric of state-dependent couples therapy, including Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT),Pragmatic Experiential Therapy (PEX-T) and the Psychobiological Approach (PACT). These models share an overlapping interest in the psychobiology of relationship and shifting partner’s states to support self and co-regulation. We explored the overlap in terms of the insights and treatment options that it affords.
