Restoring Trust: New Insights Into Trauma & Healing After Infidelity

There aren't too many presenting problems that de-skill therapists as quickly as affairs. Whether emotional or sexual, affairs can feel like the kryptonite of love. How do we reliably help couples stuck in the paralyzing aftermath of a romantic betrayal?

In this keynote, the Gottmans will present their latest research from the first-ever, six-year randomized controlled study of a treatment for couples distressed by extra-marital affairs.

You'll be introduced to an evidence-based protocol for supporting clients through key steps in successfully navigating the aftermath of an affair –so they can emerge stronger, closer, and more resilient as a couple.

David Kessler and Paul Denniston: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm PT

When Grief Meets Trauma: Advanced Techniques Using Heart, Mind & Body

Grieving clients often experience trauma as well. As practitioners, it's important that we're able to recognize and address both as we help them move toward healing.

In this workshop, you'll master new skills to work with traumatic grief and discover:

  • Tools that help clients move toward healing when grief involves guilt, sudden death, lengthy illness, suicide, addiction, or old wounds
  • Somatic techniques to release grief that becomes stuck in their body
  • Key insight on when to focus on the story of loss and when it keeps clients stuck

*On-Demand replay of the event will be available within 24 hours after the event ends.
