The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy

Learn how to take full advantage of your clients’ most powerful inner resources—their personal metaphors—with the client-centered, systematic process using CLEAN LANGUAGE and SYMBOLIC MODELING. Rewire old patterns of thoughts, emotions and behavior by working with the mind/body’s metaphors that encode the past, the present, and future projections. Working with these metaphors and your clients’ exact words, you’ll rapidly access their subconscious and core issues in a non-threatening, creative way. Work as a stand-alone technique or integrated with other approaches. Training balances didactic learning with hands-on experiences as a facilitator and client. Visit our website to learn more about this cutting-edge process and for information on our Training Program and upcoming workshop dates. NBCC CEUs available.
