Lecture in English: Couple therapy in practise
Some people ask me, dont you get awful tired and exhausted from your work with people and hearing peoples problems, dilemmas and painful lives every day?
Absolutely not, and the simply answer is; ”Their problems are not my problems”. Understand me correctly. I feel great empathy for my clients’ situation and problems but to be a good psychotherapist and as working with couples/families the most important focus is: I have compassion for my clients not pity, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to help them.
Couple therapy is not about AVOIDing difficult times, challenges, but allowing it to be ok to be together in the difficult emotional places, to establish some new experiences together.
The most important tool of couples therapy: I help couples to have some new felt experiences. New experiences in how they can understand and meet each other in situations where they experience a very difficult moment with each other. I train the couple’s flexibility towards each other and inner compassion. The intrapsychic is linked to a greater degree with the interpersonal.
I will in this lecture share how I help couples to overcome their most difficult conflict moments and help them to extend their affect regulation strategies and mentalization about the replaying situations and conflicts in the relationship.
