Advanced Divorce Busting Intensive Workshop - June 14-16, 2012 - Boulder, Colorado

I invite you to join me for this 3-Day Advanced Divorce Busting Intensive. This is my favorite workshop- three full days of hands-on information about helping couples rebound from the brink of divorce, tons of video examples and experiential exercises. Small group, Boulder, Colorado, dinner together, getting to know other marriage-saving kindred spirits.... what could be better?

Here's more information:

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, I have developed a new model for working with couples experiencing very challenging problems. I've learned that generic marriage-strengthening tools often don't work with couples on the brink of divorce who feel hopeless. The Divorce Busting approach quickly restores hope by reaching into couples hearts and helping them believe that good marriages are possible. It is only then that they become receptive to doing what it takes to get their marriages back on track. Divorce Busting therapy is a solution-based, biased model that intentionally accesses couples' marriage-saving, family-preserving values and commitments in order to stack the deck in favor of the marriage.

In addition to teaching this comprehensive Divorce Busting model that can be used in clinical, pastoral or military settings, I 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 my Divorce Busting Coaching Team, this intensive is the first step. You'll learn didactic information, observe new videotapes and participate in case consultations, group discussions, role-plays and experiential exercises. Here are more topics we will cover:
