Couples Therapy: Reconnection for Couples Through Playfulness and Fun

In this course, Dr. Christine McKee (Registered Psychologist, Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling, and Registered Supervisor) introduces a play-based framework for helping couples reconnect through emotional safety, grounded presence, and shared relational experiences. She explores the distinction between play and playfulness, outlines the evidence-informed relational benefits of playful engagement, and demonstrates practical activities clinicians can teach and coach in session. The course offers clear clinical applications for supporting communication, co-regulation, teamwork, vulnerability, and renewed connection in couple relationships.
