​We often meet couples who are struggling to find any common ground in respect to understanding past events. Consequently, we can find ourselves managing a conversation shaped by accusation and counter-accusation. In this workshop, I will discuss and demonstrate a conversational process that allows us to step away from accusation in order to find a third way. The third way incorporates each person’s experience while exploring the sometimes complex and contradictory moments which occur within relationships.

By using a process that emphasises a relational perspective, we can explore and renegotiate the taken-for-granted notions which act to shape relationships.
​
Throughout this presentation, I will demonstrate a therapeutic process where I engage couples in addressing concerns such as, significant betrayals of trust, longstanding conflicts, the impact of losses and grief, and the impact of life transitions on the relationship.
