Alright, having a solid understanding of the principles from Session One is fantastic. Now, we’re about to transition into a crucial part of the course: the practical skills that make Discernment Counseling so effective.
In these upcoming sessions, you’ll be observing the core skills in action through video clips of our five participating couples. Remember, you have the option to watch all five of these couples in their entirety within the course, which we highly encourage.
As we explore each skill, you’ll see excerpts from different moments with all five couples. This will give you a broad view of how these skills can manifest in various relationship dynamics.
To give you a bit of context, there are 20 core skills– 10 on the leaning in spouse (LI) side and 10 on the leaning out spouse (LO) side. Because we’re using real-life captured sessions from our five couples, the clips in each skills session will focus on the skills that were most prominently demonstrated. You won’t see every single one of the 20 skills in every single skills session.
To ensure you grasp these skills fully, Bill will be directly teaching each one and then narrating over the specific moments in the couple clips. This combination of instruction and real-time explanation is designed to be incredibly potent for your learning.
With that in mind, let’s head into the skills sessions and see these concepts in practice!
