Class 1: January 22nd, 2025
From Reactivity to Empowerment in Couple Therapy: A Relational-Neurobiological Approach
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Couples in distress often get caught up in cycles of emotional reactivity, each blaming the other and seeing self as victim—a linear view. This lecture explores ways to identify and diagram the couple’s dance using the Vulnerability Cycle Diagram. The therapist helps the couple understand the circular nature of their impasse, and the ways in which both are victims of and the (inadvertent) co-creators of the cycle. We will explore ways to identify and work with each partner’s vulnerabilities and survival strategies, often rooted in the family of origin, and situated within the larger sociocultural context.
The discussion will be informed by the latest research from interpersonal neurobiology, including the dynamics of emotion dysregulation, techniques for emotion regulation, and the tension between habits and change. Dr. Fishbane’s approach enhances partners’ relational empowerment, including self-regulation, choice, living according to one’s higher goals and values, and reaching for one’s “best self.”

Class 2: January 29th, 2025
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Old wounds and resentments toward parents can negatively impact adults as they raise their own children or relate to their partner. In this workshop, Dr. Fishbane will explore ways to facilitate healing & dialogue in distressed relationships between adults and their families of origin, especially parents. Utilizing a resilience-based view & a relational-neurobiological approach, this workshop addresses family legacies & loyalties, resentment and blame, cutoffs, differentiation, boundaries, power, guilt, repair, and forgiveness.
Gender-based and cultural beliefs that affect intergenerational relationships will inform the discussion. The neurobiology underlying emotional reactivity will be explored, along with interventions to facilitate emotional intelligence, relational empowerment, and healing where possible between the generations. Theory and techniques, with case illustrations, will be offered to facilitate intergenerational repair, promoting positive interactions and legacies into the future.
