Course description
Working with couples in crisis can be overwhelming for new and seasoned clinicians alike. This is especially true when it comes to working with clients struggling with infidelity, who are often in extreme emotional distress and feeling lost and hopeless about the future of their relationship.
The knowledge base you will gain from this workshop is based on extensive clinical work with couples dealing with infidelity, and supported by data from a comprehensive review of the current body of research. Completing this workshop will expand your understanding of the clinical challenges associated with the journey of healing and give you the clinical tools you need to be better prepared for working with couples as they address the crisis of infidelity.
