Tracking # 20-1265571
Course overview
The data is clear: most of us will author more than one love story in our lifetime. We talk a lot about the skills and paradigms that individuals and couples need to create an intimate relationship. But we don't talk nearly enough about the skills and paradigms that individuals and couples need in order to end an intimate relationship. Learning relational meta skills can help clients approach endings--and new beginnings--with more integrity and Relational Self-Awareness, reducing collateral damage to both self and others. In this workshop, discover an integrative approach for helping your clients better understand the thoughts, feelings, and common issues that arise during a breakup as well as integrating the loss and preparing to begin dating again. You'll explore: How to teach Relational Self-Awareness as an essential meta skill to navigate clarify boundaries and make sense of relationship endings How to help clients advocate for their relational needs with romantic partners An integrative approach to helping clients move from fear and relational ambivalence toward empowerment and clarity
