Communication for Couples

A good relationship is not so much about better communication; it’s about connection.  This course is for couples who want to understand how communication can help a relationship or get in the way.  It also explores ways of building and maintaining connection that contribute to relationship satisfaction.

• The influence of our family of origin on our patterns of connection
• How to work with physiological “auto-pilot” reactions and deal with the sensitivity that gets in the way of connecting with our partner
• The impact of perceptions on relationships
• Using empathy and validation
• Handling emotions
• Managing, accepting and appreciating differences
• Using and relating to conflict in the best interest of the relationship
• The importance of touch to connection
