These three videos feature a moving and rare Community Healing Workshop with an audience of therapists. This course of treatment involves combining premarital Transformative Couples Therapy® with a focus on healing the long-term effects of sexual trauma. This video series shows the building love and loyalty in this heterosexual couple through the male partner standing in for the female partner during a healing portrayal. Witness as he offers her the protection, love, and deep acceptance which contrasts sharply and therapeutically with what she needed in her family of origin.

Segment 1



We learn how through resolving relational trauma together in premarital sessions, deepened intimacy is potentiated in both couple members. Dr. Mars goes on to show how to help couples internalize the Seven Channels of Experience. This segment will prepare you not only for the physical presence of the couple in the workshop (shown in following video segments), but for the application of these techniques in your own sessions.



Segment 2



We open with an early session recording of the couple’s TCT work. The audience of therapists and Dr. Mars interact with the couple demonstrating the safety and power of Process Language in integrating the therapeutic work they have done.



Segment 3



In the final segment, the couple remains present and interactive in the workshop. We move into a late treatment video recording, diving deeper into the healing process with a live rescue portrayal. We hear and see the real-time responses from the couple and how they integrate the changes and healing that has evolved in their relationship.
