HARVILLE AND HELEN PRESENTATIONS WITH HAYLEY HOFFMAN

FRIDAY MARCH 22 11AM – 1PM

From Romantic to Real Love – All intimate relationships have three stages: the romantic phase, the power struggle, and real love. Most couples never get to stage three. The first two stages “happen” to us. The third stage happens only if it’s chosen. Couples often need our help understanding this transition and developing the skills of achieving it. In this session, you will learn how to help couples cross over into real love. You’ll discover how to: 

  • Use the three-stage model of romantic love to reorient couples away from blame and hopelessness toward the shared goal of cultivating real love  
  • Structure your sessions (from the very beginning of treatment) to help partners focus on their intentions, express appreciation, and take responsibility for their contribution to conflicts and power struggles 
  • Help couples talk about their differences without become polarized and antagonistic  
  • Shift each partner from an individualistic mindset, where their focus is on themselves, to a collectivistic mindset, where they’re collaborators nurturing their shared relationship 
FRIDAY MARCH 22 3PM – 5PM
From Conflict to Connection –Talking is the most dangerous thing partners do in their relationships, and truly listening is the most infrequent—particularly in high-conflict situations. The reason is simple: when we talk to one another, we tend to focus on what we’re saying rather than on how we’re saying it. Learning to talk without criticism and to listen without judgment—about anything—is essential for safety and connecting. In this workshop, you’ll observe and practice a skill that helps couples connect beyond their differences.  You’ll learn to: 
  • Help your clients talk safely about any topic or issue using the three-step Imago Dialogue process 
  • Teach clients to give each other feedback noncritically, in a way that keeps the channels of communication open and allows them to take in what they’ve heard 
  • Integrate Imago principles into your work with both couples and individuals
