AFFAIRS AND OTHER BETRAYALS
A workshop for therapists packed
with useful information
A presenter with a sense of humor about the human condition
And 3 units of continuing
education credit.
Whether you see couples
or individuals in your practice
you have most likely had clients who came to you because of an affair.
This
heartbreaking and difficult problem is
one of the top reasons people call a therapist.
It is also
one of the top reasons therapists call a consultant.
It can be a rewarding and meaningful experience to help
clients
calm down, understand better, and move on after an affair
The
workshop will address how to effectively help “affair couples” by:
Assessing
where clients are on a continuum from disappointment to disaster
Calming the initial crisis and slowing down reactivity
Educating
clients about different types of affairs and likely outcomes
Creating a constructive triangle with the couple to
get facts and feelings on the table
Illuminating the value of finding meaning and taking responsibility
Discussing
other betrayals in relationships
Supporting clients in making decisions about how best to continue past the affair
The workshop is developed and presented by Helene Brun, M.S., MFT.
