The Evolving Couple: Treatment and Interventions for Individuals and Couples

The Evolving Couple and Adult 2.0 is a psychologically oriented, spiritually centered approach which recognizes the couple as an energetic field that exists like an invisible child and goes through predetermined stages of couple development which includes the possibility for transformation .  

By working with the dynamics between the psychological and the spiritual dimensions the Evolving Couple therapist functions as a catalyst to provide the necessary  containment and the  “heat” that produces a transformation in the couple, like heat transforms water into steam.  The Couple’s ability to deal with the inevitable challenges of relationship evolves out of their  shared process of commitment to internal growth.

In this presentation, participants will have the opportunity to: 

• To understand how the Protector/Saboteur forms as a Psychological/Emotional shield from painful emotions before five years of age and later leads to self sabotage which causes regret.
• To learn to use conscious breathing and mindful listening to  lower arousal levels, clear the mind and develop the ability to witness previously unconscious thoughts, feelings and body sensations.
