Do you want less conflict, better communication and a deeper connection in your current or future relationship?
Over many years, I’ve noticed …
one core communication dynamic is at the root of 95% of misunderstandings, emotional distance, and conflicts in intimate relationships.
Maybe you're the one that expresses their emotions and needs but is often met with defensiveness which leaves you feeling unheard and uncared for?
Maybe you're the one that is frequently criticized - leaving you feeling like whatever you do it’s never enough and your needs often take a backseat to your partners?
Whether you’re currently in a relationship or hoping to create a healthier one in the future, understanding and shifting this dynamic is key to:
▸ Reducing conflict and making difficult conversations feel lighter
▸ Experiencing a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself and your (current or future) partner
▸ Creating a more intimate, authentic and stable connection
▸ Making your wellbeing less dependant on their behaviour
This workshop is based on my practice and experience in
Nonviolent Communication
Internal Family Systems
Compassionate Inquiry (Gabor Mate approach to healing trauma)
