MODULE 1 | The Eroticism of Play: Going Beyond the Cliché
Emily Nagoski, PhD | Click here for information about Emily Nagoski
Lexx Brown-James, PhD | Click here for information about Lexx Brown-James

Join renowned sexologists Drs. Emily Nagoski & Lexx Brown-James as they examine how the erotic power of play impacts intimacy and relationship bonding. During this keynote, you'll learn how to use play as a supportive intervention to increase relationship intimacy when it is not specifically explicit. Building upon frameworks from Adrienne Marie Brown's Pleasure Activism and Tricia Hersey's Nap Ministry, Drs. Nagoski and Brown-James present going beyond the cliché of play to support providers in removing their own playfulness obstacles to help their clients experience greater levels of pleasure in relationships.

MODULE 2 | Mapping a Couple's Vulnerability Cycle: Validation and Challenge in Couple Therapy
Alexandra Solomon, PhD | Click here for information about Alexandra Solomon
Mona Fishbane, PhD | Click here for information about Mona Fishbane

In couples therapy, two partners usually come in with very different stories about the problem, and both want to feel seen and understood. But how do you build an alliance with two people who see things differently? In this workshop, Dr. Fishbane and Dr. Solomon will teach an approach that bridges these seemingly incompatible needs by creating a case formulation that integrates Family-of-Origin dynamics, cultural factors, and interpersonal neurobiology. This relational framing will help you hold the tension between support and confrontation.

MODULE 3 | Integrative Behavioural Couple Therapy (IBCT): Utilising the DEEP Assessment to Target Couples Distress
Dr. Andy Christiansen | Click here for information about Andy Christensen

IBCT is a widely used evidence-based treatment for couples that was adopted by the US Department of Veteran's Affairs as its evidence-based treatment for couple distress. The DEEP analysis guides the assessment of couples, feedback to them, and treatment of them in Integrative Behavioural Couple Therapy (IBCT). Learn how to use this easy-to-implement assessment tool in couples therapy to target the issues couples need addressed.

MODULE 4 | Couples Intensives: An Effective New Path for Couples Therapy
Ellyn Bader, PhD | Click here for information about Ellyn Bader
Lori Weisman, LMHC | Click here for information about Lori Weisman

Couples work can be challenging, and partners often come in wanting fast results. Meanwhile, the traditional 1-hour weekly session has proven to be both frustrating and limiting for many couples and their therapists. The start and stop of weekly sessions leave clients wondering "Are we getting anywhere?" In this module, you'll learn a model for providing couples intensives that condense months of therapy into several days, and get details on how to add this type of therapy to your practice.
Candice Monson
MODULE 5 | Couple Therapy for PTSD: The Healing Power of Cognitive-Behavioural Conjoint Therapy
Candice Monson, PhD | Click here for information about Candice M Monson

Intimate relationships are inextricably tied to trauma recovery. Cognitive-behavioural conjoint therapy for PTSD (CBCT for PTSD) is a couple-based treatment for PTSD with the simultaneous goals of treating PTSD and enhancing intimate relationship functioning. In this module, you'll get an inside look at this evidence-based treatment and the data supporting its effectiveness and discuss future treatment innovations to optimise the role of couple therapy in trauma recovery.
Tracy Dalgleish
MODULE 6 | Tackling Shame in Couples Therapy: Engaging Partners to Create Connection over Disconnection
Tracy Dalgleish, C.Psych | Click here for information about Tracy Dalgleish

Shame is a powerful emotion that can keep partners stuck in negative interaction cycles. If left unaddressed, interventions often fail. This session will teach you to identify the downward negative shame spiral many partners get stuck in when participating in couples therapy. Couples therapists will learn how to identify shame in both the more critical and more withdrawn partners. They will also learn different strategies using an integrative approach to addressing shame.
Stephen Madigan
MODULE 7 | Treating High Conflict Couples: Using Narrative Therapy Informed Relational Interviewing (NIRI)
Stephen Madigan, PhD | Click here for information about Stephen Madigan

The history of couples in conflict has been overly focused on the individual issue that is unresolved: from money to who does the dishes. However, these conflicts are embedded in narratives that are themselves embedded in cultural, economic, and systemic systems. These systems are filled with unspoken expectations, obligations, norms, and responsibilities. Narrative-based approaches involve a deliberate shift away from individualised conflict within a couple and move toward helping couples see the bigger picture. In this workshop through transcripts and video demonstrations, we will highlight how narrative approaches can unlock deeply held and destructive patterns that couples haven't been able to unlock themselves.
Sara Nasserzadeh
MODULE 8 | Helping Couples Build Their Love Blueprint: Re-shaping Their Experiences and Expressions of Love
Sara Nasserzadeh, PhD | Click here for information about Sara Nasserzadeh

In this workshop, we will uncover a novel model of love that emerged through decades of research and clinical experience of working with couples across 41 countries. Many couples face disillusionment in their quest for fulfilling love. This session introduces participants to the Emergent Love model as an addition to what we know from the Greek categories of love. It will also delve into the concepts and tools to work with the "love blueprint," "8 common relational configurations," and identify "six essential ingredients for cultivating enduring love." It will offer practical strategies to help couples reshape their perceptions, experiences, and expressions of love. Participants will be equipped with transformative insights to empower couples towards deeper connection and fulfillment in their relationships.

MODULE 9 | Bridging the Intimacy Gap: Understanding the Need for Intimacy and Autonomy in Partnership
Dené Logan, MA, MFT | Click here for information about Dené Logan

One of the most common complaints for couples seeking therapy is the loss of intimacy — that spark between partners that fuels the relationship. Surprisingly, the lack of feelings of connection often stems from having lost a sense of yourself as an autonomous individual. In fact, one of the number one things people say after a relationship ends is "I felt like I lost myself." But what if the key to bringing partners closer together is actually the opposite — helping them each find themselves?
