FAP Intensive

The FAP Intensive is an annual gathering where we welcome students and professionals who are new to FAP as well as seasoned FAP practitioners, trainers, and researchers to immerse ourselves in FAP's theory and techniques (e.g., the rules), and mostly in the cultivation of awareness, courage, love, and behaviorism skills so that we can bring our best and most authentic selves to our personal and professional lives. The leaders spend a great deal of time planning the intesive so that there is always new material for experienced FAP clinicians. 

Special guest Julie Gottman will present on what is most important to know about working with challenging couples, along with in-vivo exercises. She and FAP experts will also discuss the similarities and differences between the Gottman Methods and FAP, and we they may have to offer each other.
