"All relationships have one law: never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you're there." - Dr John Gottman
How can we get the people we care about to hear us?
To understand us? See us? Love us, and let us love them?
What do we do when we don't understand the people we love?
What happens when conflict becomes a disease?
These are issues that can shatter not just relationships, but entire families. Feeling seen, understood, heard, and validated, is important for all humans. Without this basic keystone, relationships become neither a healthy or safe place for us. Often when the relating aspect of relationships begin to disintegrate, we shut down, or walk away.
But in the old days, people didn't just throw things away when they were broken. When something was broken, they fixed it.
In Transforming Communications™, we treat relationships as being no different than anything else in life: you need to learn skills in order to not fall on your face.
When you think about it, no one ever teaches us how to talk to each other, how to listen to each other, and how to make each other feel loved.
But now is the chance. It is never too late.
Step by step we look at:
- situations in relationships that create conflict,
- how to talk in a way that everyone feels heard and happy,
- how to let go of 'compromise' forever
- ways to resolve conflict and arguments peacefully
- expressing oneself honestly and powerfully
- how to be both kind and strong,
- how to help others that makes them feel better - not worse.
- ways of not just dealing with conflict, but increasing intimacy, affection and love.
This is perfect for couples, but can also benefit friendships, families, parents, and also work/business relationships such as teachers and managers. Some of these techniques were used by psychologists for hostage negotiations! So, yeah, you can imagine it can be useful anywhere. (But seriously, please leave hostage negotiation to professionals, people).
We love this course because here you get the skills to deal with any relationship, any conflict, at any point in the future. Instead of ending up in marriage counselling for years, for a single relationship or a single problem, we want to teach you the skills you need to look after every relationship in your life. And of course, your most important relationship: the one with yourself.
