This presentation will focus on three areas on the “marital spectrum”:
Marital Therapy: This workshop will look at marriages in the stage in which conflicts have developed but the couple still wants to work on their marriage together in therapy. A discussion of EFT couple therapy will provide an example of how to effectively do the work to try to help couples de-escalate. A vignette about a couple in crisis threatening to divorce one another and how EFT technique helped to dissipate an explosive juncture point will be presented to demonstrate how this couple started session on the verge of divorce but left in a much better place holding hands.
Marital Crisis Consultation: also referred to as discernment counseling, is a model used to help couples in an acute crisis in which one or both are strongly considering separation/divorce but haven’t quite decided yet .This consultation is designed to help them walk through different scenarios and ultimately gain clarity as to which direction to pursue, i.e. couple counseling to work further on the marriage, explore a temporary separation, or go straight to a divorce. If separation, we examine how to proceed with the options of trial separation? Mediation? or Collaborative?
Divorce methods: Mediation is strongly suggested with a brief discussion of other options, e.g. collaborative divorce and the traditional adversarial approach. An in-depth discussion follows in order to help couples think through what approach may be best for their situation. A caucusing technique can be used to de-escalate. At times introducing a brief description of TA, i.e. parent-adult-child and an explanation of why, in negotiations, we want to strive to try to stay in adult-adult state if we are to succeed at task ahead.
