dont be afraid to dive into complext IFS understanding of couples even if not a therapist
Im not a therapists, but I sure want to understand the dynamics of improving couple problems for everyone cause it sucks to be so in the dark . this book is excellent , so respectful of hurt and angry parts of the individuals in couples, applicable to all types of couples. advice on intervening when necessary and guiding the couple to solve difficult problems. Ive read it several times, theres more to take in with each read. The author is phenomenal in her delicate and knowledgeable approach to helping couples. IFS works like not other , heres a view in

User Friendly Manual
“Why buy the Couple Therapy Skills Manual and read it? Because the knowledge and skills gained will allow you as a therapist to support couples in transforming their relationships to a place of open hearted loving. As an IFIO practitioner we learn how to guide each partner in fully being themselves while staying securely connected in their relationship, even when they can’t imagine this for themselves at the present time. The manual clearly walks the practitioner through each step of the IFIO approach to couple counseling in ways that are both accessible and experiential in nature. The authors Toni and Martha insightfully help the reader understand such foundational concepts as…. developing an alliance with the couple so each partner can express their hopes and fears to each other, tracking relational dynamics, unblending, doing a U-turn, courageous communication, authentic forgiveness, healing emotional wounds that predate the couple, effect of shame and shaming, regulating the ANS, and repairing. Throughout the manual are worksheets, case studies, and experiential exercises that you and your clients can apply right away. A $30 expense for a manual whose wisdom teachings provide a path where each partner in a couple can feel truly loved, understood, and have their essential needs met. That certainly is a solid Return on Investment (ROI) and one that helps heals the world!”

Instructive
A relatively quick listen that complements other EFT works!

Not useful
I bought this because it was described as a workbook. The conversations featured are really specific, and are not widely applicable to a range of situations. I did not find the workbook aspect of it helpful at all because it’s too specific. I hope this would be a supplement to my group and family therapy textbook examples, but it wasn’t useful.

EFT with some parts work tossed in
This book was extremely disappointing because the model the authors claim to have developed is simply EFT with some added parts work. The problem is that they give no credit to EFT at all. I didn’t see it mentioned once, even though their model is identical to EFT (with some parts work thrown in, of course). It’s very disappointing to see this level of dishonesty.

This book has pages missing and some stuck together. It was also water damaged when it arrived.

日本ではまだまだ紹介されていない内的家族システム療法ですが、それのカップルセラピーバージョンです。カップルの関係性、あるいはセラピストを含めた三者の関係性を、それぞれのパーツ（マネジャー、ファイヤーファイター、エグザエル）&セルフの相互作用の視点から詳しく説明してくれており、関係性というものについて深い理解をもたらしてくれます。3人でやっていますが、実際は集団精神療法をやっている感じですね。目新しい点は、ポリヴェーガル理論を取り入れているところです。翻訳を通して日本にも内的家族システム療法が詳しく紹介されればいいのにとずっと思っていますが、まだ時間はかかりそうな気がします。はるちゃんのおにぎり先生（←浅井先生）あたりが翻訳していただけるとありがたいのですが。

This is a good product, but the Audiobook has a lot missing compared to the hard copy version. Pages 26 to 58 are missing from the audiobook.
