Effective communication and healthy boundaries are essential to building and maintaining meaningful relationships. This interactive training session is designed for social work and psychotherapy students, as well as new therapy graduates, looking to expand their clinical toolkit with practical strategies for helping clients navigate interpersonal challenges and strengthen their relationships.
Participants will explore four styles of communication and learn practical techniques to help clients express their needs, communicate more effectively, and establish healthy boundaries. We’ll introduce tools such as I-statements and the sandwich method, while examining how communication patterns can influence relationships and contribute to conflict.
The session will also introduce Gottman-informed strategies for navigating disagreements, repairing relationship ruptures, and improving communication between partners. Participants will explore the Aftermath of a Conflict Road Map, the Gottman Repair Checklist, and practical couples communication skills that can be adapted for use in clinical practice.
Participants will leave with practical, adaptable activities and interventions to support clients in developing healthier communication patterns, navigating conflict, and building stronger interpersonal relationships.
Handouts and practical resources are included.
