Safe and connected communication

Do you Find yourselves avoiding couple conversations?

So many couples are stuck because they don’t trust that they can communicate with each other in a safe and respectful way.

When this is the case, many things go unsaid, get put aside, swept under the rug or explode out in frustration when it all gets too much. This creates a feeling of distrust in the coupledom and results in a sense of disconnect. Being unable to communicate safely feels stuck and hopeless, like nothing can be addressed, resolved or improved and the cycle is further entrenched as the pattern repeats.

If this is you, you are not alone and my course Safe and Connected Communication is made to help.

This course is made for couples to do together. Each lesson builds towards you learning couples communication skills and a tried and tested communication strategy to cultivate a deeper understanding of each other and to help you feel deeply heard. With these skills and this strategy, communication becomes the avenue to find your way back to safety and connection so you can navigate difficult conversations and repair after conflict. You can trust that you can have all the conversations you need to have and stay safe and stay connected.

It was so nice as a resource to redo some of the activities we had done with you (in therapy) and felt really important to keep checking back in with each other"
