A step-by-step guide to apply proven models in everyday therapy
For years, couple and family therapists failed to provide deep healing because they focused on stopping arguments and teaching clients to fight fair instead of creating lasting change.
Fortunately, advances in our understanding of Attachment Theory has changed our field...
For the first time, we can offer clients secure and satisfying connections by exploring and systematically targeting key elements of the complex dramas that occur within relationships.
In this intensive online course, you’ll discover how to combine the empirically validated Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, (arguably the most effective and extant intervention for couples) with the healing power of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy to help couples, children, and families grow within their relationships – even in the presence of complex issues such as trauma, abuse or neglect.
If you’re ready to help your clients create more loving and affectionate connections with the people they depend on and the people who depend on them, join me and my colleague Dr. Dan Hughes in this intensive online course.
Best,
Dr. Sue Johnson, Ed.D.
