Module 1
An Abusive Bully Faces His Own Trauma
Meet Jerome, a Marine with two tours of duty in Afghanistan under his belt, who radiates anger and feels entitled to control others—especially his wife.

A Shaming Dad Discovers a New Way to Parent

Watch as Terry quickly establishes a genuine connection with Tom so he willingly does the deep inner work that he needs and emerges from the process a transformed man. In this session, you’ll:
 
  • Experience Terry's masterful joining through truth process to quickly build trust
  • Discover how to speak hard truths to both partners and coach them on the steps they must take to parent as a team

A Selfish Boy-Man Gets a Lesson in Empathy

In this session, you'll:
 
  • Observe how to work with last-chance couples where the relationship is on the verge of ending

Module 1
An Avoidant Man Learns to Show Up
In this session, you'll meet Tim, a husband who regularly shuts down and withdraws whenever his wife, Marty, is seeking connection.

In this session, you'll observe how Terry works patiently in small increments to gain Tim's trust and help him open up to inner attachment work that leads to an incredible therapeutic breakthrough. In this session, you'll:  
 
  • Experience how to identify the presenting problems in multiple clients at once
  • Learn how to gently guide a shutdown client in opening up so they can overcome deep attachment wounds
