A NOTE FROM JASON: Hello from Berkeley-  We all know the therapy cliches about how we end up marrying our parents or how our early childhoods lay out the behavior patterns of our functioning as adults.  The cliches are true-- one way that we learn to help couples is by understanding models of human development and early relationship patterns.   The therapists who has a deep understanding of the science of attachment and utilizes it well to help couples can heal old attachment wounds and move development forward.  It's a powerful tool.  So This episode answers the question... How does a couples therapist learn how to connect early attachment to the current day challenges that couples face?!   I am very fortunate to have a rock-solid consultant for this dive into attachment.  My fellow PACT couples therapist Melissa Ferrari.  Melissa is based in Australia and her curiosity and enthusiasm for helping couples is infectious.   I want to pull out a quote from the episode that really stuck with me, Melissa asks- “How does this couple lay together, knowing we both feel inadequate together and that's okay?”  If you have been following along this far you will know that “this couple” is Bart and Susan and that addressing feelings of inadequacy has been one of the main themes and struggles in the interviews.   Melissa asks us to imagine how couples therapy could build a safe enough container for Bart and Susan to share their feelings of inadequacy about being deeply dependent upon each other as a way to move the relationship forward.  It's really a beautiful way to frame their challenges and it rests on a solid foundation of helping to heal old attachment wounds through building safety and security in Bart and Susan's current relationship.  To me, it very moving, exciting  and poetic.  I hope you feel the same when you take a listen.  JB ABOUT SEASON 2 of HUMAN NURTURE: Hosted by Jason Brand, LCSW a practicing couples therapist in Berkeley, California.   In Season 2 of Human Nurture we will cover PACT in Training.  PACT stands for a Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy and has a reputation for effectively helping the most challenging situations that come up between couples.   This season, we will answer the question, "How does a couples therapist learn to help with THAT?!?"   "THAT?!?" could be any challenge that a couple brings into counseling-- from infidelity, to arguments about money, to processing past trauma, to decisions about the health and well being of a child.  This season gives an insider's view to the world of couples therapy through interviews with actual couples and consultation interviews with other expert PACT therapists.  If you are a couples therapist looking to sharpen your skills, or if you are just curious about how couples therapists learn to do their job, tune into this season of Human Nurture.

A NOTE FROM JASON: Hey, I hope you got a chance to listen to the first half of the second interview with Bart and Susan.  Just in case you are not up to speed, Bart and Susan are an engaged couple in their 50's who have been together for 3 years.  They face challenges around, “money, work and time” that keep them from moving securely towards marriage.  In this second interview you get a real sense of how Bart's enthusiasm and Susan's thoughtfulness act as the glue that brought them together.  The challenge is that these very strengths appear quite different under the microscope of depending deeply on each other.   Susan's thoughtfulness comes with worry and Bart's enthusiasm lacks follow through.This worked well enough when they were on their own, now they realize that they are going to need to learn together how to become a thoughtful and enthusiastic team.  In order to do this, Bart is learning how to better hold worry and Susan is learning how to better hold enthusiasm.  (Notice the many times in this interview Bart presents to Susan how he is trying to be more thoughtful and Susan tries to hold onto his enthusiasm.) In order to grow in these ways, they have to stop the patterns that led to going into destructive self protective places. Susan has to slow her worry about her future with Bart and he has to slow his over promising without organization and follow through.  They are both happy to report that they have stopped themselves from going into some of these old patterns but not functioning in these ways also leaves a void between them. Finding a way to help the couple venture into that void and experience, “a gentle unfolding of the soul” (as Rob Fisher put it in Season 1 - Episode 11) is the job of the couples therapist.  How do you learn to do that?!? Well, take a listen to my clinical interview and then listen to my two follow up interviews (arriving next month) with Melissa Ferrari and Debbie Campbell as we take up that very question. Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy.
