Because the real work of therapy is not about solving the fight over dishes—it's about helping two nervous systems learn how to find each other again.
What happens when your couple is locked in the pursuer–withdrawer loop? When one partner shuts down the moment you lean in, or another becomes demanding, insisting you give them "the answer"?
On the surface, it looks like conflict about dishes, money, or parenting. But underneath, it's the nervous system replaying its earliest attachment patterns—implicit somatic dynamics that are out of awareness, unconscious, and driving behavior into patterns of rigid repetition.
Too often, we get pulled into the content—debating fairness, refereeing arguments, problem-solving logistics. If you stay at the surface level with the words that are being said, you will just get pulled into the pattern that they're already experiencing.
What Makes This Training Different
This isn't theory. This is live, experiential practice designed to get you underneath the words and behavior. You'll learn interventions that put each individual in touch with these implicit dynamics—because once someone becomes aware of the somatic dynamics running the show, they can move out of repetition of the past and into the present where they have more choices.
What you'll walk away with:
Concrete skills for tracking subtle cues of dysregulation—the tightening jaw, collapsed posture, averted gaze
Practical interventions for the client who is always demanding answers, the partner who is compliant and immediately agrees, the partner caught in criticism and anger
Embodied techniques to support co-regulation in real time and guide couples into new rhythms of repair
Clinical confidence to work in a way that's more easeful, creative, and boundaried—disentangling yourself from getting induced into their system

Who This Training Serves
Whether you're:
Seasoned in couples work but want to move beyond surface-level interventions
Working with individuals but curious about expanding to couples work (and the higher rates that come with it)
New to attachment dynamics and seeking practical, body-based skills
Feeling drained by couples who seem to pull you into their exhausting patterns
Curious about integration—weaving somatic and psychodynamic approaches without needing full certification in multiple modalities
Ready to step into your full power as a therapist without getting lost in your clients' drama
This experiential training will give you the skills that are truly the foundation of a successful couples practice—allowing you to create real transformation while preserving your boundaries, energy, and professional confidence. These are the same approaches Larry has refined over 30+ years of successful practice.
When we stop managing the argument and start attuning to the nervous system, we create the conditions for lasting transformation.
