COUPLES COMMUNICATION
SKILLS WORKSHOP

This workshop is ON PAUSE due to COVID 19. Ellen Gregory, LMFT is providing this skills based work via telehealth in private sessions. Reach our via our contact page to get started. 

Do you keep having the same conflicts over and over again, and can’t find resolution? Is your partner unable to fully hear you, and understand your perspective? If so, this workshop can be helpful to you both.

When couples argue frequently, its usually due to habits of blaming, attacking, repetitive arguments, and seeking to be heard rather than to listen. Often, individuals haven’t learned to speak vulnerably, to share from a place of self-agency and personal responsibility, and in a couple relationship, this inability to be authentic becomes destructive. Patterns like these create distance in a relationship. These patterns are hurtful – wounding.

PATTERNS THAT WE WANT TO ELIMINATE:

• Blaming or attacking your partner.
• Engaging in repetitive arguments.
• Seeking to be heard rather than trying to listen.
• Avoiding difficult conversations.
• Needing to be right, or prove something.
• Dismissing your partners needs/ feelings.

Each of these patterns leaves couples alone and wanting – Wanting the experience of being seen and heard. Change can happen. Couples who can move through this, who can develop the ability to hear and accept their partners feelings, no matter if they agree or not, can solve problems together and move through life’s challenges.
