3. IFIO Couple Therapy: Video Demo

by Toni Herbine-Blank
 

This video is an illustration of the importance of unblending protectors in couples therapy. The work is an example of a dynamic that speaks to a basic human dilemma; I want love and connection yet I am terrified of love and connection. Toni works skillfully helping each partner become aware of "parts" who in their attempt to protect the individual, get in the way of allowing this couple to have the relationship they desire.
