Preview of the Building Healthy Relationships class

I have recently revised the Building Healthy Relationships class to make it shorter and less expensive. This makes it more affordable but it also gets students up and running faster with the material.

The core of the class is the observation that our relationships have depth and durability to the extent that we are able to name, address, and resolve the conflicts which arise within them. We tend to see the same conflicts arise again and again, so it is important to note that resolving a conflict doesn’t mean that it won’t arise again. It means that each time it arises we get better and better at addressing it such that we create what we and others need without expecting them to change. As we do so, we find our relationships become safer and more satisfying.

Those interested in what the program has to offer can attend a free introduction. The preview is presented each month on the second Sunday evening from 6:30-8:30. The next preview will be March 13. Details are available here.

Who is the class for?
Virtually anyone will find the class helpful, but most take the class to get specific help for addressing persistent conflicts in significant relationships. The class addresses such things as
· how we choose to act when we are flooded with feelings (anger management),
· how to address issues without starting a fight,
· how to become more aware of our own needs, and
· how to create and repair agreements.

Is it for couples?
Couples may want to come to the preview together but I recommend they take the class separately. If they want to work on the material together we can set up a separate program. In the class it is important to be free to share whatever is going on for you without having to be careful what you say in front of your partner.

How long?
The class meets for two hours once a week for eight weeks.

How much?
The cost is $250 per person.

When?
The next class will meet on Thursday evenings from 7-9 and will start when we have eight people signed up.

Hey men!

Those of you whom know myself know that for a nice and dealing with our child's bad behavior. They were just pretty much driving me ridiculous at all times, some know what to do or what to say to them. A couple weeks ago my partner and i finally made a decision to get to the bottom level of it and discover a solution that might work. We searched every website and blog i possibly could possibly come across on the subject last but not least i found the best solution. When any of you are having equivalent issues with your current children you can Private Message me. In second thought i will just give you the websites i discovered on the topic to help you possibly see clearly and correct your child also.

Thanks for experiencing my observation.
