Working with conflict in couples therapy can feel like being caught in the middle of a storm. As therapists, we often find ourselves holding intense reactivity, long-standing resentment, or deep disconnection between partners — all while trying to stay grounded, compassionate, and effective.

This live webinar is designed to support you in those moments. Whether you’re already working with couples or are just starting to explore this area of practice, you’ll walk away with clarity, structure, and tools you can immediately apply.

You’ll learn how to take leadership in the room without becoming controlling, how to de-escalate when emotions rise, and how to support both partners while holding your own centre. Most importantly, you’ll build the confidence to face conflict — not avoid it — and use it as a catalyst for insight and change.

In this 2-hour training, Karen Murphy will share practical insights and tools to help you:

• Develop a grounded, confident approach to conflict in couples therapy
• Understand reactivity through the vulnerability cycle
• Create structure and safety in high-conflict sessions
• Set strong, compassionate boundaries
• Integrate what you already know from individual therapy into your couples work
• Use practical interventions you can apply immediately after the session
