Description:
This training is designed to enhance your understanding of some of the most important factors influencing couple friendships today. The 9 Skills training is not therapy, but it is based on the premise that couples can learn the skills that will keep their couple friendships moving forward in a positive way. Dr. John Gottman’s (1994; 1997; 1999) ground-breaking research has found that by teaching couples a minimal set of skills they may be able to drive a wedge into the cycle of negativity - the major predator to couple friendships. The overall goal in this workshop is to teach couples a minimal set of skills that can help them, if they choose, to drive a wedge into some of the negative cycles that may be disrupting their overall happiness and well-being. Because talking about money is a potential trigger that can easily lead to conflicts and arguments, you will not only learn in this workshop about the 9 Important Communication $kills for Talking about Money, but you will also be given opportunities to practice these skills both in this workshop and at home.
