Couples Communication Workshop -5/21/16
Stop negative communication cycles! Learn essential skills to go from conflict and distancing, to closeness. Build intimacy and connection.
Perhaps you have tried to prevent discussions from spiraling out of control with your partner, but only end up feeling hurt, misunderstood and frustrated. And worse yet, the conversation continues to be unresolved, only manifesting as disconnection, irritation, sarcasm, etc.
Applying the tools that you learn in this class will help you:
• Feel understood by your partner
• Understand your partner, without giving up your stance
• Experience more love and satisfaction
• Speak from your heart
• Increase intimacy
• Discuss sensitive topics in a respectful, collaborative way
• Manage the powerful urges to interrupt your partner or shut down
• Express appreciations that are meaningful and heartfelt
You owe it to your relationship, and to your own happiness in life to learn some satisfying alternatives. Stop the negative cycles before they have a chance to go from bad to worse.
