• What’s lost in this approach?

• Through case examples, Esther Perel will show how to effectively engage such issues as intimacy, sexuality and infidelity by creating separate spaces where each partner can explore his/her feelings and experiences along with larger relationship dynamics.

• We will show how to navigate privacy and secrecy, honesty and transparency, stage interventions around sexual impasses, and structure a safe and flexible environment to work creatively with infidelity.

• Educational Objectives: How to create a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to work with secrets, privacy, transparency and truth-telling.
