Couples Counseling: Using the Power and Intimacy Formula

John Lucas


This seminar will offer a simple but all-encompassing formula for therapy and assessment. This formula ideally applies to couple's work. Examples of assessment and application of the formula will be offered in the presentation. The presentation will also present a useful integration of psychology and Christianity for clients with a Christian framework.  Based on this simple formula, the presentation will also apply CBT principles to address areas of anger management, conflict resolution and self-worth.

The presentation will also touch on the application of this formula with other major areas of concern, namely, parenting and addictions.


Participants will learn:

1. The general principles of the Power and Intimacy formula in treatment.

2.   How to apply the Power and Intimacy formula to couples therapy.

3.   How the Power and Intimacy formula can be applied to various areas of treatment, including individual therapy, addictions, and parenting.

Effective Co-Parenting Strategies

Dr. Jenna Flowers, LMFT


With the divorce rate in America at over 50 percent, effective co-parenting continues to be more relevant than ever.  We explored how to help our clients understand the challenges and strengths in co-parenting. This presentation guided us in understanding the key developmental needs for children specific to co-parenting families, created an effective parenting plan for co-parents who want to be intentional in their parenting, informed us how to assist them to continue to foster a secure connection with their children.  This seminar helped clinicians learn how to work with clients needing practical and effective communication strategies to help reduce conflict and how to help them focus on partnering well in raising healthy children.


This seminar highlighted what conscious co-parenting is and strategies on how to partner as co-parents in raising healthy and securely-attached children. It provided an understanding of specific needs of co-parented children at every developmental stage, explained how to create a co-parenting plan, manage resentments in co-parenting, and promote effective communication strategies in co-parenting.


Objectives:

  1. Understand the challenges and strengths in co-parenting.
  2. Identify key developmental needs specific to co-parenting.
  3. Learn tools for creating a conscious co-parenting plan.
  4. Review strategies to manage resentments and increase communication in co-parenting.
