So many couples come in feeling frustrated that nothing seems to shift, even when they communicate better or try new strategies. There is almost always a deeper pattern operating beneath the surface.
This presentation focuses on the missing link that keeps couples repeating the same painful cycles. Schema Therapy offers a clear way to identify these patterns and work with them directly, helping partners move toward connection instead of protection.
If you work with couples who feel stuck or discouraged, this session offers practical direction you can use right away.
Registration includes 60-day recording access, 19 CE Units, and a full year of JYSTA membership.
Live online December 4 and 5.

Most couples therapists have watched a couple leave the office feeling connected and confident, only to see the same pattern show up again once the stress of real life returns. Even excellent EFT and Gottman work can hit a limit when deeper schemas and modes keep rebuilding the old choreography.
At the upcoming Schema Therapy Symposium, Travis Atkinson will explore why this happens and how schema therapy strengthens the models therapists already trust. Travis is a Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor and a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist, so he understands the power of these approaches and uses them daily. His session focuses on how schema therapy adds the missing layer that helps clinicians reach couples who stay stuck despite strong work.
If you want new tools for the couples who have tried everything else, this is a session to attend.
Live online December 4–5. Replay and one-year JYSTA membership included.
