I got a lot out of this - including a lot of affirmation of what I've been doing myself "covertly"! However, I had an initial negative reaction to the traditional male/female stereotyping. I understand that the majority of couples may present in the manner Terry described, but it still bothered me. I found using the Blatant/Latent language much more helpful (and that's what I wrote in my notes). I also would have liked to hear more about less traditional couples - people of color, different cultural expectations, GLBT couples, etc. However, I know it was only an hour!
All that said, I really appreciate what Terry had to say and will definitely explore the website. I hope that, given more time and/or a different format (articles, books) working with diverse couples would also be addressed. Thanks for the encouragement!

This was awesome and extremely encouraging. I've worked with only a few couples in the past few years and I am happy to see that with my latest couple I've actually done much of what Bill says needs to be done! I was rather uncomfortable being more directive, but I think it's important to create a safe space for both spouses. I especially appreciated the exhortation to focus less on insight (which seems to lead to analyzing each other) and more on how they couple can change. This session really excites me that I can do good work with couples and encourages me to learn more. I definitely appreciated the "basics" approach - the nuts and bolts of working with couples.
One question: Was the video not available for the rebroadcast? I couldn't find the 2nd window to view it.
