Couples and Families
Relationship dynamics can be worked with in a novel environment by the family group and counselors. Ski Therapy emphasizes nonviolent communication skills, practicing and tolerating contact, and examining unspoken family patterns within the relationship network of the family. Deeper work, if permitted by the appearance of emotional safety, such as addressing “triggers” through EMDR or Brainspotting can happen individually or in a supportive group. These group or pair therapy experiences are modulated by the skiing activity and supported by individual work.
