Dyad Practicum Sign-Up
Coherence Therapy Training & Certification Program
Four 90-minute sessions with a Certified Trainer
Dyad Practicum (DP) consists of four 90-minute teleconference training sessions for two trainees, who conduct a Coherence Therapy session with each other in each meeting under the direct coaching of a Certified Trainer.

Each trainee experiences being the therapist twice and the client twice. This format is uniquely effective for learning the moment-to-moment process and flow of Coherence Therapy by experiencing it, both as the therapist and as the client.

A recording of each DP session may be made by each of the two trainees via Zoom on their own computer.  The Trainer also records the session for the confidential archive of the Coherence Psychology Institute.  INFORMED CONSENT: By submitting this request for DP, (a) you are granting permission for the other trainee to record each session, and (b) you are agreeing to protect the strict confidentiality of the recordings that you make, which means you agree they are solely for your own private viewing or listening and you agree not to share, post, or distribute the recordings in any way whatsoever.  Listening to your DP session recordings enhances learning significantly.
