Description
Mastering Conflict Management in Couples Therapy
Presenter: Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT
Overview:
Conflict is inevitable in intimate relationships—but how couples manage it can either deepen their bond or erode their connection. In this clinical training, Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT, will present advanced therapeutic techniques for helping couples navigate conflict, de-escalate emotionally charged situations, and replace harmful dynamics with compassionate, solution-oriented dialogue.
Drawing from proven models like Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), this webinar offers a comprehensive framework for transforming conflict from a source of division into a pathway toward intimacy.
Note: Though this training is designed for clinicians and coaches, couples are welcome to attend and may benefit from learning these skills together.

- Guide couples in repairing emotional ruptures and rebuilding trust
