Conscious Communicating From the Inside Out |
In four days you'll learn what some have spent a lifetime trying to learn (and what you'll wish you'd learned a long time ago)! This course focuses on communication, conflict resolution, self-awareness and relationship skills:
Communication
- Express your feelings so they can be heard and your emotional needs are met
- Recognize when your communication style is more of a problem than the issue at hand
- Learn how to clear the air of fear, pain, and anger before resolving conflict
- Experience the satisfaction of simultaneous physical closeness and emotional openness
Conflict Resolution
- Express anger without destroying love and accept anger comfortably and non-defensively
- Recognize covert, subversive expressions of anger
- Learn an effective negotiating style in which each partner feels considered and respected
Self-Awareness
- Recover past decisions that may be sabotaging your relationships today
- Know and appreciate the rich complexity of your unique personality
Relationship Skills
- Recognize the various roles you and your partner play--the masks you don
- Find how
the behavior you assume in different circumstances works or doesn't
work
