It is not uncommon for couples to quarrel over issues such as chores or finances. However, such conflicts tend to have underlying, unresolved issues that can easily be mistaken for something else. Therefore, it is essential that therapists have a keen awareness of underlying issues that aren't always expressed out rightly. In Couples Experiencing Commitment Uncertainty, clinical interventions are led by establishing a secure attachment between partners, and helping couples identify their emotional needs, often hidden amongst conflict. In this video program, Drs. Johanna Strokoff and Jesse Owen both direct the co-therapy demonstration session by helping a couple express their most authentic and vulnerable desires for comfort, acceptance, and love while also communicating concerns about judgment or abandonment.
