When one partner criticizes another, it can derail the healing process. So how can you, as the therapist, help your client reframe their complaint in such a way that it isn't so hurtful and derailing? I model that in this video.

In this video, I model how to address egregious behavior by a client without shaming them. It's very important to be firm but understanding, to continue to build that relationship with that client.

Therapists often ask me, “Is it even possible to bring back the spark once it’s gone?” The answer is a resounding YES. There is a path forward, and it starts with unravelling the years of stress, disillusionment, and disconnection that smothered the spark in the first place. I’ve got a short training on this exact topic: “Romance to Roommates: Rekindling the Spark.” So, if you’ve had clients with this issue (and who hasn’t?), check out the training here.

Is it possible that you're okay?" In this video, I explore how you can approach changes and other kinds of stressful events in your life.
