RE Therapy combines a psychoeducational skills-training approach with deep emotional processing designed to transform couples’ and families’ negative patterns of interaction into positive, nurturing ones, so as to facilitate deepened emotional connection and healing in ruptured relationships. The core RE skills focus on how to manage conflict effectively and how to dialogue in order to uncover clients’ most vital feelings, concerns, and desires. This in turn empowers even the most distressed couples and families to resolve current and future problems on their own. An additional strength of RE Therapy is that it equalizes power within relationships, both between genders and across generations. RE Therapy is supported by 40 years of research that validates its clinical effectiveness. This introductory workshop will briefly introduce the theory and practice of RE therapy. More importantly, the focus will be on the core RE skill of deep empathy, including how to understand it, how to teach it to couples, and how to employ the special Identification Mode of verbal empathy.
