[humanser] Question about Group and Couples Therapy

[Justin Williams]

One thing I heard in class was a counselor asked the couples to verbally
tell her if they did osemthing which was visual.  I can't remember exactly
how that went, but that was something I heard.

Subject: [humanser] Question about Group and Couples Therapy

Hi all,
I am currently in Level One training for the Gottman Method for
Couples/Partner Therapy. I'm curious if anyone else has used this modality
in treating couples, and if so, what modifications/adaptations you may have
used/made?
Even if not, I am curious about people's experiences doing couples and group
work. As a counselor in training, I have only worked with individuals thus
far and am still learning how to handle and interpret the nonverbal
information from one person, so I'm a bit concerned or uncertain about
possibly missing certain nonverbal cues between partners or even group
members in a group. How do other clinicians navigate these types of
challenges? I'm sure there are other auditory cues that could give away
people's attitudes towards one another and so forth, but there may be other
important details that would be important to catch and comment on in the
moment. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

All the best,

Sarah
