• Because of this phenomenon partners in a relationship rarely know what they are doing or why, and so they confabulate meaning in the absence of real understanding.

• Additionally, partners in couple therapy maintain hidden agendas and use deception in order to protect themselves from loss.

• Therefore, it is up to the couple therapist to find out who partners are, what they really want, and what they are up to in the first or second session.

• In this workshop we will learn to accept deception in couple therapy is a part of normal human behavior while utilizing specialized techniques to help partners clarify themselves and their agendas in an effort to move them toward secure functioning.
