| Summary: | Dr. Leslie S. Greenberg conducts an initial couples therapy session with an African American married couple. The couple presents with long-standing trust issues. Using emotion focused therapy, Dr. Greenberg develops an empathic connection with each member of the couple and identifies core issues of trust that manifest differently in each partner. He guides the couple in exploring the source of these issues and the dynamic patterns of frustration and disappointment that have developed. Dr. Greenberg works with the therapeutic process to build insight into these patterns and to assist the partners in hearing the underlying emotional messages each is trying to communicate to the other. At the end of the session, the therapist reflects on the connection between the partners while introducing the concept of longer term couples therapy to address the marital conflicts. |
