“Bonnie Lee Ph.D. is a rare teacher. She walks in the world of research and she is able to support her concepts with good methodology, she then takes these methods to the world of therapy and explores application of her ideas with critical eyes. Her multi-cultural lens provides an opportunity to see human universals and patterns with the ability to translate those observations in this work. She is articulating a process that needs articulation.” Stephen Buckbee, Living Treasure of the Satir Global Network
“We as counsellors found this to be such meaningful work; I know that my overall job satisfaction has increased being able to incorporate couple’s counselling into my practice.”
“There has never been a model that put all these different components together with an evidence base.”
“Bonnie is a great facilitator, so engaging, and fun to learn from!”
Description
Counsellor training is often short on skills and concepts for working with relationships, spirituality and family-of-origin issues. Congruence Couple Therapy is a short-term, compact model that can be applied to individuals, couples and families. It provides an integrated roadmap and skill-set to connect the dots to reveal the whole picture of individual and couple issues.
Key concepts, movements and interventions of CCT, an integrative humanistic model with an empirical base, will be presented and discussed. CCT is a model that has been shown to produce significant improvement in clinical outcomes in addiction, depression symptoms, overall mental health, emotion regulation, individual functioning and couple relationship.
