Couples Therapy: The Art of Cultivating Repair Through Intentional Communication

In this course, registered psychologist Dr. Christine McKee, master practitioner of clinical counselling and registered supervisor, introduces a practical framework for cultivating repair after rupture through intentional communication. The course explores how family-of-origin experiences and attachment patterns can shape a client's readiness for vulnerable dialogue, then equips clinicians with reflective prompts, preparatory strategies, and an eight-step roadmap to support safer, more effective conversations. Grounded in real-world clinical utility, the material is readily applicable to couple work, family therapy, and other relational contexts where trust, accountability, and collaborative repair are central.
