This additional training session gives us more time to look at how neurodiversity can impact relationships In most cases, applying the skills and techniques learned in the Couples Therapy Online Masterclass is all that’s needed to help a couple move forward in their relationship. Sometimes though, some extra focused knowledge of the challenges within specific types of relationship can help a therapist assess more quickly and meaningfully the relationship dynamic, allowing them to more effectively help the couple find a constructive and compassionate way forward. Why take this course Neurodiversity has been given significant media attention recently, which is all hugely positive. As a result though, more people are seeking out information and answers for their questions and personal experiences. As part of that process, they may well seek some counselling or therapy. It’s important then that, as therapists or counsellors, our knowledge, skillset, language and stories stay as up-to-date and relevant as possible to best serve our clients. In this session, we take time to clarify what’s most helpful and identify practical steps that can help. Jennifer's knowledge and experience shone through What will you learn Debunking the myths about neurodiversity – and replacing them instead with newer, more positive and inclusive research-based thinking The value (or not) of a diagnosis – and the possibility of mis-diagnosis The challenges when one or both partners are neurodiverse The most effective tools to support a re-steer back to respect and compatibility What to look out for with right- and left-brain-orientated neurodiversity How best to get mutual emotional needs met when two partners have different priorities, awareness and emotional expectations Having a neuro-divergent child – and how that can impact a relationship (positively and otherwise) Managing expectations – around the speed of change, and the consistency of more-respectful and kinder behaviours after therapy is complete Strategies that could work well with a neuro-divergent partner – and when might we have to get more creative A therapist’s next steps – when they suspect one or both of a couple is neurodivergent. And much more… You will also have the opportunity to ask Jennifer questions and benefit from the discussions resulting from those asked by others. Who is this course suitable for? Anyone working with couples, perhaps as a relationship counsellor or couples therapist, who would like further insights and ideas for helping couples when one or more is neurodivergent Anyone who has previously attended our Couples masterclass 1-day workshop (live or in person) If you already work with couples in your salaried work or private practice and you want to develop more insight into the different ways neurodivergence can impact couples specifically, and relationships generally, then this online training is for you. Please Note This course is not a substitute for therapy. This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office for 4 hours of CPD training. On completion of this training you’ll receive CPD certificates from the College and the CPD Standards Office.

Additional specialist online training for anyone working with couples or helping with relationship issues… Accredited CPD: 4 hours Length: 8.45am–1.00pm (GMT) Live training delivered online – Join Jennifer Broadley on Tuesday 9th July 24 for another jam-packed session live online via Zoom. You will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Simply book your place and we will send you email confirmation – your Zoom link will be sent the day before the event. BONUS RECORDING – the training is recorded, in case anyone experiences technical difficulties, so you will also get a recording for 2 weeks afterwards to maximise your learning. Can’t make this date, then please register your interest and we’ll let you know as soon as another date is available. This additional online training session gives us time to look in more depth at narcissism and what a relationship with a narcissist might look like In most cases, applying the skills and techniques learned in the Couples Therapy Online Masterclass is all that’s needed to help a couple move forward in their relationship. But sometimes additional knowledge is needed, as in the case of relationships where narcissism is a suspected factor, to help a therapist assess more quickly and meaningfully the relationship dynamic and specific challenges involved, thus allowing them to help the couple more effectively to find a constructive and compassionate way forward and out of their current difficulties. Why take this course The term ‘narcissist’ is often bandied about and narcissism is frequently covered in the media – but is this language over-used or misused? It’s great that awareness is being raised generally about narcissism and the impacts it can have on a relationship, but it’s important to be well informed. As a result of this increased awareness, more people are seeking information and answers to their own experiences, as well as about the causes of their own relationship difficulties and what they can do about them. As part of that process they may well seek some counselling or therapy so it’s important that, as therapists, our knowledge, skillset and stories are as up-to-date and relevant as possible to best serve our clients. If you already work with couples, in your private practice or employed role, and you want some more detailed insight into narcissism and how to spot it, as well as some of the additional relationship challenges it brings, this live online training is for you.. Jennifer gave a very informative response to my specific request for information relating to narcissismPAULINE, THERAPIST ATTENDING JENNIFER'S 'COUPLES THERAPY' COURSE What will you learn What is a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) – and what are the criteria for clinical diagnosis What specific unkind or manipulative behaviours in relationships can be classed as narcissism – and when should we really not use that term Why the reports of narcissistic emotional abuse in relationships are significantly on the increase – and how (or whether) this parallels family, relationship and societal changes If it’s not narcissism, what else could be causing the dysfunctional relationship pattern? The truths and myths of the nature vs nurture debate in relation to NPD How to spot narcissism when both partners are in your therapy room How to spot NPD when only one partner is in your therapy room Why it’s usually the co-dependant partner, rather than the one with narcissistic personality traits, that instigates therapy How to support an abused partner to exit a narcissistic relationship – OR to remain in it if he/she won’t or can’t leave How to identify which needs are not being met for one or both partners of a couple – and strategies to quickly change that Tools and checklists to keep your clients emotionally and physically safe as you support a rise in their self-esteem, self-compassion and emotional needs being met more healthily The common language (media and social media) for NPD-related behaviours How to raise children (separately or together) when one parent has NPD – the critical Do’s and Don’ts Additional resources to steer your clients towards – plus recommended reading for you as a therapist And more… You will also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and benefit from those asked by other people. Who is this course suitable for? Anyone who has previously attended our Couples masterclass 1-day workshop (live or in person). Anyone working with couples, perhaps as a relationship counsellor or through couples therapy, who would like a better understanding of narcissism and NPD, and ideas for helping couples deal with the challenges these bring. Please Note This course is not a substitute for therapy.
