As PACT therapists we need to quickly organize a great deal of information within a reliable yet flexible structure while still remaining present with the action unfolding between the couple. In order to do this, we rely heavily on the theory and practice developed by family therapists. In this episode of The Human Nurture Podcast, we explore PACT's core element of family therapy in interviews with Sheri Glucoft Wong, LCSW and Stan Tatkin, MFT, PsyD..
Sheri describes "being on her spot", which is an attitude and approach she has developed to working with families. Not only is it down to earth, action oriented and inclusive, it also acts as a model for parents. Sheri describes the role this way, "that combination of being clear in your message but also flexible and responsive to people is the key to having the most positive parenting relationship you can have. So we in the field have to model the same thing we are asking parents [to do] in their lives."
Stan describes the formative experiences of his family therapy training and the ways PACT can be used with families. Stan and I discuss the interview with Sheri as a way to explore PACT concepts like; regulating the regulator, building a therapeutic alliance, differentiation, being in role and many more.
On a personal note, this is a special episode because it features two of my mentors and it was quite a thrill to find so much overlap in their thinking and approach. As always, thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the family therapy episode.
