Upcoming Events
Live Workshop | The Hidden Truth: Advanced Face Reading and Somatic-Driven Behavior by Dr. Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, Founder of PACT
June 26, 2026
12:00pm – 2:30pm Pacific Time
Couples lie. The most accurate information in the therapy room is rarely what couples say, but what their faces and bodies reveal subconsciously.
In this workshop, Dr. Stan Tatkin will expound upon one of the cornerstones of the PACT method: training the mind and eye to track the subtlest shifts in facial expression and somatic response. Like Sherlock Holmes stepping back to observe rather than react, the skilled clinician learns to watch the whole room, including and especially the person who isn't talking.
In this 2.5-hour workshop, Stan will sharpen your ability to detect microexpressions and nonverbal cues that reveal what implicit memory holds and explicit narrative conceals. Using live microexpression training tools drawn from Paul Ekman's research, participants will practice identifying split-second expressions of fear, contempt, disgust, surprise, and more — and learn how to use that information strategically in session.
Stan will teach you:
- How to train your eye to catch microexpressions and somatic tells in real time to sharpen your clinical effectiveness
- Why attending to nonverbal channels increases empathy across all your social interactions, not just in clinical settings
- How to use what you observe strategically by setting up conditions to test and retest your hypotheses without tipping your hand
- The difference between expressions that are intended to be seen and those that leak out involuntarily
