I’m excited to announce the next online class offered by Southwestern College/New Earth Institute’s Human Sexuality Certificate:
Anatomy of Couple’s Therapy
Saturday and Sunday, October 10 & 11, 2026
9am-6:30pm Mountain Time Zone
Online Synchronous
DESCRIPTION: Drawing from the work of Resmaa Menakem, John and Julie Gottman, and Ester Perel, this course introduces participants to current theories and practices for working with couples. Participants are introduced to diverse ways of working with couples’ desire discrepancies, infidelities, and loss of interest. Connections between consent and pleasure, and the dichotomy of safety versus passion will be examined. Particular emphasis is placed on helping clients develop a capacity for mutual recognition and empathic attunement. Participants will practice renegotiating the relationship based on a more conscious understanding of each partner’s individual subjectivity using Resmaa Menakem’s somatic concept of the five anchors for clients and therapists alike to remain present and effective during conflict.
