This is a not to be missed opportunity to learn Couples and Addiction Recovery from Leading Gottman Master Trainer, DR Bob Navarra, live in Sydney.
Couples and Addiction Recovery is a groundbreaking new training for therapists, counsellors, and professionals. While current models for treating couples impacted by addiction discourage any type of relational approach in early recovery, couples need help sooner rather than later. It’s time to change how we treat couples in recovery.
This online course is for anyone working with couples struggling with addiction as well as couples in recovery from alcohol, drugs, and/or behavioural addictions. It draws from the fields of addiction treatment, mental health, and couples counselling, and integrates current research findings with knowledge from clinical practice.
It combines more than a decade of research by Dr. Robert Navarra with the Sound Relationship House model, developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Dr. Navarra has worked in addiction recovery for over 25 years. He holds an Advanced Drug and Alcohol Certification and a national certification as a Master Addiction Counsellor through the Association of Addiction Professionals (NAADAC).
This training provides interventions and tools for a relational approach to healing that addresses three different but overlapping recoveries: the person with the addictive disorder, the partner, and their relationship. You will learn a research-based approach to help couples:
  • Identify addiction
  • Break through denial
  • Navigate the challenging road from active addiction to recovery
  • Improve conflict management skills
  • Learn the difference between “codependency” and “interdependency” and how to identify and set appropriate boundaries
  • Develop a relationship recovery, while supporting their partner’s recovery and strengthening their own individual recovery
  • Heal from the aftermath of addiction
  • Move toward wellness as individuals and as a couple​
Learning objectives:
  1. Describe and critique the differences between the Couple Recovery Development Approach and the current most common approach in treating couples impacted by addiction
  2. Explain the three components of the Couple Recovery Development Approach and their roles during recovery
  3. Incorporate concepts and interventions from the Gottman Sound Relationship House Theory to help couples manage conflict
  4. Explain the impact of addiction and recovery processes on the couple relationship
  5. Analyze and differentiate feelings and behaviors associated with codependency and interdependency
  6. Explain the neurobiology of addiction and the impact it can have on individuals and couples
  7. Differentiate between mild, moderate, and high risks of problematic substance use and compulsive behaviors using assessment techniques
  8. Apply therapeutic techniques to help break through denial
  9. Apply interventions for helping couples manage conflict during addiction recovery
  10. Recognize opportunities to utilize Recovery Card Map decks to facilitate couple recovery
