HOT & COOL COMMUNICATION
IN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS
Transform the core communication dynamic that causes 95% of misunderstandings, emotional distance, and conflicts
A 6 Week Online Group Program
Starts on 3rd April
Do you want deeper connection, less conflict, and more ease in your current / future relationship?
THE HOT & COOL COMMUNICATION DYNAMIC DRIVES 95% OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS, EMOTIONAL DISCONNECTION AND CONFLICTS
Are you the hot communicator that…
Expresses their emotions and needs but is often met with defensiveness which leaves you feeling unheard and uncared for?
Or the cool communicator that…
Often feels criticised, like whatever you do it’s never enough and your needs frequently come second to your partners?
Whether you’re in a relationship now or creating a better foundation for the next one, transforming this dynamic will enable you to:
▸ Reduce conflict and break free from repetitive arguments
▸ Experience a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself and your (current or future) partner
▸ Navigate challenging conversations with more ease, compassion and harmony
▸ Create a more intimate, authentic and stable connection with your partner (and within yourself)
▸ Make your wellbeing less dependant on their behaviour

I will focus on supporting you to do what I have seen to be most transformative for my clients in our individual and couples sessions.
✅ Recognise your triggers
Get to know the vulnerable and reactive parts of you that repeatedly get activated in this communication dynamic
✅ Trace the root cause
Discover the past experiences and old emotional pains your vulnerable parts carry that keep you stuck in this dynamic
✅ Heal old emotional wounds
Begin to heal and release the emotional baggage these vulnerable parts carry
✅ Regulate in the moment
Calm your nervous system and step out of fight, flight, freeze, or people-pleasing so you can respond instead of react
✅ Stop taking it personally
See the deeper vulnerability beneath your partners behaviour, so instead of feeling attacked you experience compassion and they feel understood
✅ Have intentional conversations
Talk about this dynamic (with your current or future partner) in a way that creates more mutual understanding, connection and compassion
✅ Navigate your differences
Understand and better navigate key differences between hot and cool communicators so you stop misreading each other and build a stronger connection
✅ Use effective strategies
Use simple effective techniques that interrupt downward spirals, repair connection post conflict and make difficult conversations easier
The Experience
I developed this group program methodology based on my experience of applying Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Compassionate Inquiry (work of Gabor Mate) and Nonviolent Communication both with my clients and within my own life.
I will guide a small group of 12 people through an interactive and transformative experience of practices, inner child healing meditations and group reflection.
This will be a safe and supportive space to go deep. I imagine there will be tears, we will have some laughs along the way and get to know some incredibly courageous people like you.
Because there will be both hot and cold communicators in the room you will be able to better understand your partner (current or future) through other participants.
