This course will introduce a different approach to working with couples. It suggests that couples will co-develop a relationship that reflects a deep mutual care system and is also a growth model that encourages and supports the partners to grow and prosper. Major principles of this care system are building safety and security with each other and putting the relationship first, as well as finding agreements that organize their relationship in a secure-functioning way and develop effective co-regulation. Pact is both a bottom-up and a top-down model of couple therapy. This approach allows more freedom for the therapist to use the self for the benefit of the therapy.
