Couples Work: The Emotionally Focused Connection

Description

Many people know that their primary intimate relationship needs alot of time and energy, but few truly understand how and why relationships "go south" when not attended to. Has something slipped in your relationship? Do you fight too much, or not enough? Have you simply stopped connecting like you used to? Do you sense there is so much more to explore as a couple, but you have no idea what it could be or how to go about it?

In this weekend workshop, Kat and Justin will focus on educating couples about the main relationship themes that come up over and over, and help couples begin making shifts in the way they relate, in the moment! Humans in relationship are primarily emotional beings, yet so few of us know how to relate well from our "emotional body." Learn how to engage yourself and your partner with one's full emotional expression. Uncovering hidden loyalties or unconscious patterns from your Family of Origin that keep you from truly cherishing one another. Group work enhances our ability to see ourselves more clearly, through the lens of compassion, and offers the best in Real Change currency. Some of the very "grown-up" subjects we tackle are:

* Building a "container:" committing to a relationship with your Self, as well as the duo
* Couples' developmental cycles: understanding the normal flow of intimate relationship over time
* Emotional expression: how to share your truest feelings without blaming or coercing your partner
* Relationship deadeners--the sure-fire ways we douse love's flame (including Gottmann's "Four Horsemen"), and how to keep them at bay!
* Differentiation: how to remain true to yourself when in a charged emotional situation.
