Presented by Dr Ingrid Artus, this course on using BWRT® with couples aims to achieve several objectives: exploring cognitive and brain-based models in therapy, understanding Gottman-method principles such as the “sound relationship house” and the 4 Horsemen of the apocalypse, identifying co-morbidities and traumatic incidents in therapy, recognizing the impact of loss and betrayal on relationships, understanding fidelity development and trust dynamics, explaining mechanisms like positive perspective and negative sentiment override, identifying patterns that increase infidelity risk, advising on rebuilding trust, recognizing betrayal as a PTSD response, applying BWRT® as a trauma-diffusing therapy, educating couples on basic brain functioning, using data to plan treatment strategies, addressing ethics in couple’s therapy, and recognizing contra-indications, especially related to domestic violence.
Based on the goals and objectives of the course, the outcomes for this course include:
1. Enhanced ability to integrate both top-down cognitive and bottom-up brain-based models in couple therapy, potentially improving treatment effectiveness and client outcomes.
2. Proficiency in applying the Gottman-method principles, such as turning towards, away, and against behaviors, and utilizing the “sound relationship house” model to set clear therapeutic goals for couples.
3. Improved skill in identifying and addressing co-morbidities and traumatic incidents encountered in couple’s therapy, particularly focusing on loss, betrayal, and their impacts on relationships.
4. Understanding the dynamics of trust, fidelity development, and their influence on couple dynamics, informed by Kahneman’s 3 phases of love model.
5. Capability to recognize and manage patterns that may escalate infidelity risks and provide couples with effective strategies for rebuilding trust.
6. Knowledge of betrayal as a potential PTSD response and proficiency in utilizing Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) to address trauma in a bottom-up approach.
7. Ability to educate couples on basic brain functioning and its role in relationship dynamics, using this knowledge to gather data on client triggers and plan tailored treatment strategies.
8. Ethical competence in couples therapy, including awareness of client rights, ethical guidelines for psychologists, and considerations specific to couple’s work, such as identifying contra-indications like characterological domestic violence.
These outcomes collectively aim to enhance the psychologist’s clinical skills, therapeutic efficacy, and ethical practice when working with couples facing complex relationship challenges and traumatic experiences.
