From workshop participants:
“Bonnie Lee Ph.D. is a rare teacher. She walks in the world of research and she is able to support her concepts with good methodology. She then takes these methods to the world of therapy and explores application of her ideas with critical eyes. Her multi-cultural lens provides an opportunity to see human universals and patterns with the ability to translate those observations in this work. She is articulating a process that needs articulation.” -Stephen Buckbee, Living Treasure of the Satir Global Network
“We as counsellors found this to be such meaningful work; I know that my overall job satisfaction has increased being able to incorporate Congruence Couple Therapy into my practice.”
“There has never been a model that put all these different components together with an evidence base.”
“Bonnie is a great facilitator, so engaging, and fun to learn from!"

Description
This interactive workshop series offers a theoretical, practical, and evidence-based introduction to Congruence Couple Therapy (CCT). CCT is a humanistic, deeply systemic, trauma-informed model that utilizes the couple relationship as a resource to create significant clinical outcomes for addiction and mental health.
While originally developed to address the complex and relational underpinnings of gambling and addictive disorders, therapists have found that it is effective in addressing a wide range of family issues using CCT's integrative four-dimensional framework. In systemic fashion, individuals in relationships improve self awareness and emotion regulation, interpersonal communication, acknowledgement of family of origin influences and understanding of human universal-spiritual yearnings.
Audience
Marriage and family therapists, counsellors, psychologists, clinicians, and graduate students in counselling fields are welcome to join this interactive introduction to CCT.
Format & Method
An electronic Congruence Couple Concept and Method workbook is included in this workshop. We will use it as a guide with pre-session readings, short lectures, discussion, case studies, and role-playing for participants to learn the key tenets of this innovative, short-term couple therapy to improve clinical and relationship outcomes.
Dates & Times
Six sessions are held on Zoom on the following dates: May 27, June 3, 10, 17, 24, July 8, 2022. Note there is no class on July 1, 2022, Canada Day. A Zoom invitation will be sent for the meetings.
Objectives
At the end of the series, participants will be able to:
1. Use the four-dimensional map of CCT to strategically link interventions.
