When love requires revising old coping strategies.

A six-week game changer

  • Week 1

    We’ll make personal introductions and meet your shipmates. You’ll hear about my personal relationship journey, I’ll lay out group guidelines, and you’ll get to share your specific challenges and goals with folks who can relate.

  • Week 2

    You’ll learn what attachment is and the significant role it plays in your life. I will detail different coping styles for emotional hurt. You will leave with an understanding of why it’s a myth that your relationship has a “communication problem.”

  • Week 3

    Rumi said, “your task is to seek and find the barriers.” This week we make sense of the unique way that your group members instinctually protect themselves in relationships that simultaneously give momentum to a negative cycle.

  • Week 4

    What you really want are tips and tricks for when you can’t get your partner to understand you. Class four gets you in the driver's seat of how. I will teach through a demonstration.

  • Week 5

    We’ll walk through what secure couples do when they feel disconnected from each other. We’ll have an open Q & A and discussion.

  • Week 6

    In our last class, we meet the other group! You’ll have gained perspective and practical solutions. Here’s your chance to bridge what you’ve learned and to really understand another viewpoint.

Registration Details

  • Attendance in the first and last classes is required. If you know of two dates that you cannot make, you must wait for the next enrollment. The dates are listed below.

    You must familiarize yourself with your adult attachment tendencies by completing this questionnaire and emailing me the results.

    We may complete a brief one-on-one phone call prior to registration to ensure you are in the right group for you.

  • Each class is 75-minutes long.

    Because this is a virtual group that gathers online, you will need a place where you won’t be interrupted and where you have a strong internet connection. Your presence, participation, and engagement are essential to the success of everyone.

    This small-group coaching is not a replacement for individual or couple therapy.

    You are welcome to register with or without your partner. And you do not need to currently be in a relationship to join.
