Mindfulness: The Royal Road To Couples Therapy
My name is Rob Fisher and I love doing couples therapy. I am a published author on it and founder of mindfulness centered to couples therapy. I have many years experience in other areas on the subject. When I look back on my 25+ years of teaching it and 1000’s of hours practicing it with clients - I’m filled with a feeling of passion and joy for it like never before.
Helping couples in therapy is rewarding. Helping couples therapists is, dare I say, even more personally rewarding. Providing a therapy service to couples in chaos can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming for the therapist. I understand because I've ‘been there’ too. That’s why I have created this brand new course. To help you, the therapist, become more effective in what you do. Much more effective. I have over a quarter of a century of teaching it and thousands of hours thousands of hours practicing it with clients.
Can It Really Be THIS Simple?
Meet Bonnie and Scott. They had terrible fights in which he would accuse her of not hearing him, and she would become angry because he was "simply disrespectful" toward her. One of these conflicts started in my office. After observing for a few minutes, I asked them to take a moment, close their eyes, and go inside.
I asked if it would be O.K. to have Scott voice one sentence of his complaint and for Bonnie to track inside exactly what occurred. I asked them to do this in slow motion (so to speak) so that they could find out more about what was happening underneath.
Bonnie gave Scott a signal, and he said, “I can't stand it when you get defensive.''
I suggested she take her time so that she could really find out how that got under her skin. After a few moments, she said, “I can't stand disappointing him.''
Again I suggested that she stay with this sense of how intolerable it was to let him down and notice if there was anything familiar about the feeling. “Yes,'' she said. It reminded her of how her parents had never punished her; they just told her how disappointed in her they were. This had been quite effective in manipulating her behavior. Rather than experience the pain of disappointing one more intimate person, she would react angrily.
By exploring the interaction in mindfulness, she was able to become aware of a dynamic that occurred too quickly to notice in ordinary consciousness. This became an entry way that eventually allowed her to begin to differentiate her husband from her parents, and to begin to tolerate his feelings of disappointment without having to fend them off with anger.
A Way To Move Safely Through A Couples Deadlock
Couples therapy can be fast paced and chaotic. The chaos may take the unaware therapist by surprise. But here's the Catch-22. You can't get better at couples therapy without observing at close range some of the bitterness, hostility, distrust, and the occasional out-of-control outbursts of rage. That said, you don't have to leave the sessions feeling just as conflicted as your clients.
Here's why… In this course you will learn how to help couples unwind their deadlocked dynamics with mindfulness assisted study of their individual wounds and the systems that they generate. Along with the experience, my Mindfulness Couples Therapy training course prepares you for such chaos. How to calm the brewing storm. And remain calm yourself.

The Core Skills You Will Learn
Mindfulness: mindfulness is a golden key to working with couples in a way that dramatically diffuses volatility and increases self observation and compassion. This course will show you exactly how to work with the present moment in couples therapy.
Interventions that go beyond conversation and communication: The injuries, values and beliefs that drive couples' interactions operate much deeper in our psyches than ordinary therapeutic conversation will touch. You will learn to work with live experience in ways that can change the underlying neural patterns and ancient injuries that underlie the daily dynamics.
Systemic Assessment: Couples get locked in self-reinforcing systems. Good assessment leads to good intervention. Take your time to understand what is happening before moving into interventions.
Individual Contributions: We continue outlining the assessment of individual issues that contribute to couples difficulties. We are all the unfair beneficiaries of our partners' unfinished past and traumatic experiences. Assessment of the historical antecedents to present day behavior, feelings and beliefs is critical to effective couples therapy.
Communication: We also look at the strengths and weaknesses of couples communication patterns, exploring how feelings and needs are communicated, the presence of blame, manipulation versus accountability and vulnerable self disclosure.
Resources: We go over couples resources, their strengths and skills that often get lost in the fray of arguments. And the theoretical orientation of the couples therapist that can lead towards emphasis on the pathological leaving clients deeply embedded in a hopeless view of themselves and their relationship.

Bonus Video: The Wisdom of Children about Relationships
Children often speak the truth. In this bonus video are some funny quotes about marriage and relationships. Don't lose your sense of humor when doing couples therapy! Also feel free to use humor in sessions to break toxic cycles of relating. Make sure that you are not disparaging either person, but calling attention to the absurdity and commonality of our human condition. Introducing a sense of lightness of being can be the antidote to deeply ingrained patterns of emotional disconnection and volatility.
Bonus Video: Personal Development: Touching Your Heart
In therapy it is very helpful to use the wisdom from the body to access deeper levels of the psyche. This bonus video introduces an exercise to help you touch into your own emotional/spiritual heart and use your body to gain new wisdom, a deeper connection to your own lovingness and a respect for the affairs of the heart.
Bonus Book Chapter: 'Couples and Character'
From my book, Experiential Psychotherapy With Couples. When I first started studying character, I was frustrated that my clients did not fit into the psychoanalytic model I was learning. Later I studied the Hakomi model of character, which is actually based on Freud's model, modified by Reich, then Lowen and finally Kurtz to de-pathologize it, including the body and the inherent strengths and creative adaptations to difficult life situations. It has since become a cornerstone of how I view individuals and couples interactions. I know you will find this bonus reading of benefit.
PLUS LIVE WEBINARS!
Learn from Watching Me Work With Couples - Live
Within the course are two scheduled, live webinars that help you develop your internal state as a couples therapist, allow time for questions and answers and receive live coaching from me in developing your clinical skills.
