Episode notes
Importance of Couples Therapy
- Couples often get individual treatment, hearing different information from various therapists.
- This can exacerbate problems and prolong healing due to inconsistent messaging.
Workshop Format Evolution
- Marnie Breecker initially co-led a 3-day workshop with Dr. Manuela, separating couples for the first two days.
- She later realized the importance of couples processing information together and revised the format.
Building Compassion
- Couples workshops build compassion as partners witness others sharing similar experiences.
- This humanizes the betrayer and fosters empathy in the betrayed partner.
