Relationships 101 Workshop / Seminar

My wife and I have been married since 1989 with two children.  Like most couples, we have experienced our issues and ups & downs.  We both reacted like normal people; not always helping our causes. As a human being, I can relate to my clients' feelings and experiences to a great extent...the experiences that I haven't directly experienced, I've tried to pass on to others what others have learned themselves. 

Relationships 101 is a culmination of what my private, court-ordered clients, and experiences of the clients in my early days, have taught me about their relationships, feelings and reactions.  Relationships 101 is about the the concepts, persepctives, practical tools and communication skills that I have tried to teach them...

It doesn't matter what you fight about, it's how you fight that matters!

• Learn how to identify your triggers and how they developed

• Learn healthy communication skills and how to communicate about the issues

• Understand boundarary setting and how boundary violations are part relationship problems

• Understand the basics and foundations of ALL human interactions and reactions

• Develop the ability to assess and measure the quality of your past, present, and future relationships

Of all couples experiencing Intimate Partner Abuse (Verbal, Emotional / Mental, Physical, Sexual, Financial), two-thirds of those couples exhibit Mutual Combativity (Erensaft, 2003).

Most individuals who were arrested for domestic violence stated at intake that they "were arguing over stupid stuff."

The Domestic Violence arrest laws state that a crime is committed if there is destructon of property, bodily harm to a person, or harassment has taken place. 

Don't contribute to this type of conflict and don't accept it in your lives... fix it now before it's too late.
