Couples
Dr. Kahn incorporates strategies from Imago relationship therapy, self psychology, and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy to give couples the tools to gain a better understanding of their spouse, communicate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and achieve a joyous life together. Couples learn techniques of anger management and reactivity control that help not only in the couples relationship but in their connections with their children and in the world.
Frequently, Dr. Kahn provides an innovative and extremely effective procedure for couples by recommending that either one or both partners join his own separate relationally focused group where that person can receive support and understanding, learn techniques of positive interaction, become thoughtful of the effect of his words and behaviors on others, receive feedback from others who are not their spouse (but may be like their spouse), have an opportunity to practice the couples dialogue with the group person who reminds them of their spouse and thereby develop empathy for their spouse.
For couples who feel trapped in their relationships, feel resentment towards their partners, and have lost the joy in their relationship, Dr. Kahn's relationally focused groups offer a nurturing, safe and supportive place for each partner to grow and to gain the skills to enhance their relationships.
