Dr. Marina Rosenthal | High Conflict Couples
Manage episode 409849345 series 2844683
My guest today is Dr. Marina Rosenthal. Marina is a licensed psychologist dedicated to serving high-conflict couples. She earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oregon, where she received extensive hands’ on supervision and further honed her skills in the VA system working with veterans and their partners with concurrent and complex struggles. Marina now runs a private practice and is thoroughly trained in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), an empirically supported treatment which has many similarities to ACT.
Some of the topics we explore include:
- How Marina got into working with high-conflict couples
- The tendency to pathologize partners in order explain relationship issues
- Finding a balance between acceptance and change
- How individual therapy can sometimes sabotage a relationship
- The difference between high-conflict and abusive relationships
- Ways to build awareness and understand function in conflict patterns
- Some common relationship myths
- Working through the decision to stay together or split up
- And some examples of how high-conflict couples can successfully grow and heal
