This course will provide participants an introduction to the Gottman method 'sound relationship house' model of couples therapy that is conducive to interweaving hypnotic procedures to enhance positive sentiment, encouraging positive relationship affection 'bids' (pro-social behaviors), and enhancing motivation with future anticipation as well as hypnotic relaxation strategies for affect regulation to manage emotional 'flooding.'
The course will provide experiential demonstration and practice in small groups integrating hypnosis with selected interventions of Gottman style couples therapy including Love-Mapping, Gentle Start-Up, and De-escalation of flooding.
