Attachment and Communication in Marriage 2.0

$69.00

-

Summary

There are few things more painful and disappointing than distance and an inability to connect in marriage. When couples come to mental health professionals for help to get “back to each other,” many emotions and feelings—emptiness, anger, insecurity, frustration, and deep sadness- are present in session. Often, attachment and communication are core issues that need to be addressed. Without emotional safety, a healthy connection, and the ability to communicate effectively, effort is often fruitless. This course will equip you to help marriages get back on track by facilitating repair to these central issues.

  2. List the various aspects of the BUILD method and the characteristics that help create safety and partnership in marriage.
