Structured Sharing Conversation

Structured Sharing Conversation is a guided couple conversation tool for practitioners using an IBCT-informed process. It helps partners share their individual understandings of a core relationship problem, respond to each other, and capture a clearer shared account or unresolved differences.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Shared But Not Forced

The conversation is shared by nature, but the shared-account field can include unresolved differences rather than forcing consensus.

Before Change Planning

The result is shared understanding and responses. Concrete action planning belongs in a separate tool.

Unresolved Structure

Exact prompts and sequence details are not defined in the product specification, so the demo avoids unsupported worksheet fields.

Does the tool require partners to agree?

No. It can capture unresolved differences when forced agreement would misrepresent the conversation.

Can prior individual perspectives be shown?

Yes. Prior perspective visibility is configurable by the practitioner.

Does the tool create a change plan?

No. It supports shared understanding; change planning is a natural next step in a separate tool.

What happens if one partner does not contribute?

The conversation remains partial, and the missing contribution is visible for practitioner review.
