ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

When you work with couples, do you ever ask yourself . . .

How do I get spouses to stop blaming each other long enough to find solutions?

How do I work toward improving the marriage if only one spouse will come in?

What if one spouse is determined to get out? Can I really help turn things around?

How can I help couples move beyond infidelity if they keep clinging to the painful past or if the unfaithful spouse won’t give up the affair immediately?

They rarely do their homework. Why am I working harder than they are?

In the last few years, Michele Weiner-Davis has developed a new model for working with couples experiencing very challenging problems. Since recognizing that the real challenge in couples work is combating hopelessness, she developed tools for first, reaching inside people’s hearts - helping them believe that good marriages are possible - and then showing them how to get there. Although this approach incorporates solution-oriented therapy, Michele has gone beyond the limits of the therapy model to access couples’ marriage-saving, family-preserving values and commitments in order to stack the deck in favor of the marriage.

The Divorce Busting^® approach incorporates marriage education and wisdom Michele has gleaned from two decades of specializing in work with couples on the brink. In addition to teaching this comprehensive Divorce Busting^® model that can be used in clinical, pastoral or military settings, Michele will also show you how to develop and market your own marriage seminar by introducing you to two marriage classes you can teach "right out of the box." Plus, if you’re interested in becoming part of Michele’s Divorce Busting^® Coaching Team, this intensive is the first step. If you work with couples and are committed to helping them resolve their differences rather than dissolve their marriages, you won’t want to miss this intensive training.

These are just a few of the issues that will be addressed during the week. You'll learn didactic information, observe new videos and participate in case consultations, group discussions, role-plays and experiential exercises. Here are more topics we will cover:

Comments from previous Advanced Divorce Busting^® Intensive attendees:

This Advanced Divorce Busting Workshop is by far the most useful seminar I've ever attended. It has been such a pleasure to have gotten my money's worth - plus! Above and beyond the Divorce Busting aspects, this workshop has given me confidence in my approach to relationship counseling. Thanks for an inspiring workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

~~~~~~~~~~
I just wanted again to thank you for the inspiration training opportunity. Having finished graduate school approximately the same time as you, I’ve been to a lot of conferences, seminars , lectures and other formal learning events. While each event taught me something, I must say I think the most important thing I’ve learned was from you, though I heard M. Erickson and his followers say similar things. The client is the expert.
I truly appreciated the opportunity to watch you with clients, your ability to focus on what was helpful in progressing to the goal and not being distracted by the obstacles was amazing. E Joseph Cossman is quoted as saying: obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes of his goal. While that is a catchy way of saying it, you taught it. Thank you.
I know wasn’t your best student, but I was the most benefited.

Thank you for a wonderful, stimulating week. I appreciated your being so clear, well organized and on task. Your personal interest in the group encouraged an atmosphere of friendship and support. Now that I am back home and ready to get back to work, I am looking over the materials you gave us. I am excited again and anxious to apply these new ideas with my clients.

~~~~~~~~~~

This workshop was one of the most useful I have ever attended. Michele's lively presentation style brought the material in her books to life. I started using her principles to good effect the day I returned to work. It helped me to jumpstart a case in which I had worked with a couple for months without success.

Michele's approach has been especially effective with my military clients, who are good problem-solvers and generally prefer problem-solving to reflecting on why things have gone wrong. Michele's emphasis on letting clients identify their own solutions helped me to step aside and let my clients do the work of counseling. Needless to say, my clients are much more invested in carrying out their solutions than mine, and their solutions are the ones that most often are right on target.. ~~~ Dynamic presentation, well organized, great videos.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The information about affairs and the therapist working harder than the client was particularly helpful and on target in my work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michele's energy is electric and contagious!
