MULTI-CHANNEL WEBINAR
SESSIONS BEGIN JANUARY 11, 2024
The experience of these lively interactive international webinars brings about an intimate connection to self and other. In this welcoming environment, the theory and practice of Transformative Couples Therapy® (TCT) are brought forward in a series of 8 two-hour monthly sessions.
During the Multi-Channel webinar series, we develop a more secure base together through cultivating conscious embodied awareness. This provides a transfer of learning from our training sessions directly into your clinical practice and your daily life.
The clinical training videos feature methods to use on Zoom and in person to co-create transformative, therapeutic outcomes.
This new Multi-Channel webinar series is directed to expanding your perception, reception and expression for moment-to-moment tracking. This particularly applies to couples or patients who have been blocked in experiencing their own bodily cues.
The edited and captioned clinical training videos shared will feature couple members or patients with a combination of:
Defensive exclusion of a range of emotions
Highly sensitive triggers to dorsal vagal dissociation and/or hot and cold reactivity
Those with unresolved trauma that has previously been difficult to treat.
