Weathering the Storm: Guiding Couples Through Conflict with Confidence
A live webinar for therapists ready to face conflict — and grow from it.
Working with couples in conflict can feel overwhelming, especially when tensions run high in the therapy room. This webinar is designed to support both experienced couples therapists and those considering stepping into this dynamic and rewarding area of practice.
You’ll learn how to set a strong foundation from the very first session — with clear leadership, firm but compassionate boundaries, and the skills to build a solid therapeutic alliance, even in the midst of chaos.
Through the lens of the vulnerability cycle, we’ll explore how conflict shows up between partners and what it stirs up within the therapist. You’ll see how to integrate core techniques from your existing therapeutic training into couples work, so you’re not starting from scratch — just learning to apply what you already know in a new context.
What You’ll Gain:
- A confident approach to handling conflict in couples therapy
- A framework for understanding escalating dynamics through vulnerability and reactivity
- Strategies for creating safety and structure in high-conflict sessions
- Practical interventions you can use immediately after the webinar
Whether you’re already in the trenches or just testing the waters, this webinar will equip you with insight, clarity, and real-world tools to help couples navigate stormy waters — and emerge stronger.
