Description

Chronic criticism. Defensive responses to requests for change. Isolating a person from their friends and family. Contempt. Snooping…

These subtle controlling behaviours in relationships can undermine your client's sense of autonomy and self-worth.

And while it’s often easy for you to see how destructive the controlling partner’s behaviour is on your client’s mental health, they can NOT see it for themselves.

Until they untangle themselves from their controlling partner, get perspective on their actions, and remember who they are separate from their partner they’ll continue to blame themselves and rationalize to themselves and others that their behaviour “isn’t that bad.”

That’s why the key to helping clients in controlling relationships is to first decipher the behaviour for the client, because they can’t see it.

Now, in this engaging and transformative live online training, Jackie Burke will offer the latest research on the types of control and violence, show how to look at different degrees of control and violence, and provide the skills to identify and assess controlling relationships.

Together, you’ll explore how the impacts of trauma on one or both partners can manifest in behaviours that are controlling, as well as treatment approaches for distinct types of control in relationships.

You’ll walk away with the confidence and skills to name what's really happening in your client’s life and relationship (even when they don't see it) so they can be empowered to build a better relationship... Or get out of a bad one.
