Description

Sometimes one person’s needs in a relationship conflict with what the partnership requires. How do you balance both? Romantic partnerships based in secure functioning—where partners make their connection a priority while also caring for themselves—must achieve this balance. In this workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of PACT, a developmental approach to couples therapy that combines neuroscience, arousal regulation, and attachment theory. We’ll explore: 

  • Live demonstrations of “containers,” a unique organization method for assessing, intervening, and measuring a couple’s progress 
  • Assess and treat developmental roadblocks that partners bring into adult relationships 
  • How to create a secure-functioning relational system, one that emphasizes shared power and authority as well as fairness, justice, and mutual sensitivity
