Seminar
This talk is a combination of theory, interactive elements as well as practical exercises for clinical use. In this interactive talk, I will invite you to delve into the intricate web of modern relationships, addressing the poignant concerns echoed by many of our clients who often arrive at our doorstep heartbroken and disillusioned. From the haunting refrain of “I love my partner but not in love with them” to the perplexing pondering over whether one has found the right person and if they can rekindle their once sizzling sexual passion for one another, these sentiments echo through our daily interactions. Together, we navigate through the maze of relational complexities, offering insights into how we can identify and understand the spectrum of relational configurations, from “friends with benefits” to “constitutionally bound couples” and all the way to the “couples with Emergent love”. Moreover, we embark on a journey to redefine the fundamental and commonly used terminologies of attraction, respect, shared vision, loving behavior, trust, and compassion, empowering us to restructure our therapeutic approach. Armed with newfound tools, we unravel the intricacies of love and sexual blueprints, both personally and professionally, equipping us to guide our clients towards deeper fulfillment in their relationships.
