Conversations for Connection Workshop
If you are having problems in your relationship this is a fantastic workshop to attend, thought i would share!
Conversations for Connection workshop is based on 'Hold Me Tight' by Sue Johnson, the developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy.
This weekend workshop is helpful for couples who are distressed and also for couples who want to feel closer and more connected. Single or separated people who would like to understand their relationship patterns are also welcome to come along to this workshop.
You and your partner get space and privacy to work through the conversations away from the group. You will not have to share with the group - this is an education workshop for couples, it's not a therapy group and Yve & Debbie are very safe facilitators.
You will get the opportunity to watch videos of couples talking, which you will find really helpful and encouraging before you have your own private conversations with your partner.
This is what other couples who did the workshop is saying:
"Quality, safe, secure environment"
"Today I leave feeling connected and loved, with hope and the tools to deal with whatever arises"
"There is hope for your marriage, no matter how bad or what crisis you are in. If you are both willing, this course will give you the foundation to rebuild a better, loving relationship"
"It gives you a map to navigate your way"
"Really good because it gets to the core of what is behind initial reactions to behaviours and arguments"
"This workshop opens couples up to a safe environment for deeper discussions on being REAL in your marriage"
We are really excited about this workshop and are looking forward to working with you. We do offer a payment plan option, to find out more please go to the website:
