“But what about my needs?!”
Helping couples move through power struggles
FREE in-person event for local therapists
Come join us to learn together, socialize and network in-person!
Lafayette, Saturday September 7th at 2 pm
In this interactive workshop, we will learn a framework and concrete tools to help couples (and us!) recognize the power struggle; exit the power struggle mentality; and process the underlying emotions driving the power struggle without turning emotionality into a tool for power.

As couples therapists, we’ve all witnessed couples get stuck in power struggles over their needs.
