Handling Conflict
This workshop is designed to be a follow up to our first workshop, "Couples Communication". This workshop is 10 hours long and runs on Friday night from 7pm-10pm and Saturday from 9am-4pm. Based on the research of the world's leading expert on marriages, Dr. John Gottman, you will go deeper into exploring the impact that each individual in the relationship can have. Dr. Gottman's research spans over 35 years and his findings and techniques have been shown to be effective in various relational situations.
You will learn:
-How your thinking and feeling affect your behaviours
-How your view of your partner can affect your relationship
-How to have a "positive sentiment override"
-How to "turn towards" your partner and "bids for affection"
-How to soothe yourself and your partner
-The "4 Horse men" of relationships
-How to turn conflict into conversation
