Summary:Expand your repertoire about approaching the classic dynamic of couples therapy--an angry woman clashing with a withdrawn man--by: Creating a welcoming atmosphere of safety in the initial session for both partners; Highlighting individual responsibility by focusing each partner on their own behaviors that cause the other person pain; Developing methods for setting boundaries with the angry partner while defining anger as a protest against feeling disconnected; Highlighting positive features of the couple's relationship in the first session; Teaching couples a range of processes from Imago Relationship Therapy, including mirroring, validation and the Behavior Change Request.
