The transition from partners to parents is often clunkier than expected, whether you support your clients individually or as a couple, you are likely hearing about these changes in your office. Understanding the couple dynamics during this tender transition will help you support your clients more confidently and effectively.
Whether navigating infertility, pregnancy, or the transition to parenthood, the way couples relate to each other profoundly shapes their journey and mental health outcomes. This 90-minute training explores the unconscious forces that shape emotions and behaviours in intimate relationships, and how these dynamics influence perinatal mental health.
You'll gain practical, compassion-focused approaches and interventions you can integrate into your work—whether you come from a psychotherapeutic background or another support profession.
