Workshop 2 – Setting the Stage: (Oct. 8th) Communication II for Couples

Workshop 3 – Everyone Fights: (Oct. 15th) Conflict Regulation I for Couples
While it’s not possible to eliminate conflict, it is possible to learn how to navigate it more effectively. We’ll give you practical tools to handle conflict in a way that supports your relationship instead of eroding it.
Workshop 4 – Getting Out of Gridlock: (Oct. 22nd) Conflict Regulation II for Couples
Getting clear about the past, our “old baggage” allow us to be more present in our current relationship. We’ll look at how our emotional history can cause us to get stuck in a conflict rut. Unspoken dreams can keep us gridlocked in a never-ending pattern of conflict. We’ll give you tools to break out of gridlocked patterns.
Workshop 5 – The Nuts and Bolts of Love: (Oct. 29th) Friendship – Intimacy – Commitment
