PROGRAM:
So many talented and smart women often miss the signs of a dangerous partner. It can happen to anyone. And not only women, but men and people in same-sex or non-binary relationships as well. This presentation, based on the new book “CHOOSE HIM WISELY: How To Identify A Safe Partner,” highlights why it is critical for all of us to make smart and safe decisions in making the crucial life decision of choosing a partner and the warning signs of abusive and controlling partners: love-bombing, jealousy, blaming the partner, ”too much, too soon”, etc.
What can women learn from the story of Gabby Petito and so many other women? What questions and tools did these women miss when choosing a partner? And—most importantly—what are the many factors that lead so many women to ignore, minimize, or rationalize the red flags?
Join internationally-recognized author David B. Wexler, Ph.D. in this 2.0 hour virtual CE event to learn about all of these issues and more.
The information here can save lives.
If you attend this workshop, you will learn how to…
1. Identify the “red flags” that often predict future controlling, abusive, and/or aggressive behavior in a partner
2. Recognize historical factors that often predict future controlling, abusive, and/or aggressive behavior in a partner
3. Utilize the input from friends and family when they notice alarm signals about possible future abusive behavior—and when these should NOT be considered reliable
4. Help women identify the complex needs and factors that often lead to denial, minimization, or rationalization of these “red flags”
Target Audience:
This workshop is designed for mental health providers, school counselors, and victim advocates (although non-professionals are welcome to attend)
