Description

Beyond affairs, violations in intimate relationships are often the result of more common and seemingly small and innocuous betrayals. And when one or both members of the couple have a trauma history, it can significantly impact their ability to work through betrayals of all kinds. This session will explore how to apply complex PTSD interventions in couples' treatment to help partners work through the initial shock of a betrayal, minimize blame and shame, heal the root trauma, and regain trust in the relationship. In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to prevent couples from re-injuring partners in sessions
  • Strategies for creating corrective emotional experiences to regain trust
  • How to work with “parts” that get activated and triggered when working with betrayal
  • How to integrate the stages of couples’ treatment with IFS informed trauma techniques
