NICABM – Strategies To Help Clients Navigate Rupture And Build Skills Of Repair
Help Clients Overcome the #1 Threat to Their Relationships
Strategies to Navigate Rupture and Build Skills of Repair
For many clients, the number one threat to their relationships is not knowing how to respond when a rupture (inevitably) happens.
That’s because too often, clients lack even basic skills for effective repair. And when relationship ruptures pile up without repair, they can spark mistrust, bitterness, and resentment that takes years to overcome (or spell the end of the relationship).
So to foster a client’s skills of repair, we need to:
- Understand how the brain and nervous system can influence the way your client perceives rupture
- Apply strategies to ease the unconscious defenses that can complicate the repair process
- Tailor the process of repair to complement your client’s attachment style
- Develop a roadmap to repair that can help your client heal ruptures in their relationships
That’s just some of what we’ll be getting into in this Strategies To Help Clients Navigate Rupture And Build Skills Of Repair course:
