See what he asks, how he responds to each partner, and how he begins to make sense of their relationship. With the whole session in view, you can study the context and sequence behind his choices—not just an isolated intervention.
Available after purchase and course enrollment. These are recorded demonstrations, not additional live sessions. Lifetime access is included.
