FIRST, we will get to know each other.  I will inform you of PREPs workshop & coaching process, so you can make the right decisions for your needs.

There are many forces working against healthy relationships. Fortunately, there are 3 key things you can do to counteract those forces.

We help couples identify four Communication Danger Signs: Invalidation, Escalation, Withdrawal, and Negative Interpretations. 

Then couples are taught how to ban the Danger Signs from their relationship by using skills such as Time Out that help “put the brakes” on negative communication habits.

Couples will learn strategies for decreasing the impact of anger and stress on the body and mind and identify ways they can work as a team to protect their relationship from the negative effects of stress and anger.

Couples learn the difference between the Events (the everyday happenings that trigger conflicts), the Issues (the problems we often argue about), and the Hidden Issues (these are fundamental human needs that, if not met, can fuel arguments, conflict, and distance). 

This session is about learning and practicing the Speaker Listener Technique, a structured communication skill that works to minimize the Communication Danger Signs (Invalidation, Escalation, Withdrawal, and Negative Interpretations).

The Speaker Listener Technique works so well because it slows down a conversation, keeping partners on track and helping them listen carefully to each other during difficult conversations. 

This session explores two different kinds of commitment—Constraint Commitment (factors that make ending your relationship difficult) and Dedication Commitment (behaviors that make relationships strong).

This session encourages couples to recognize the value of having fun together and also protect time to be together as friends. 

To protect these positives, we must overcome four common barriers to having fun together: lack of safety, lack of mutuality, lack of variety, and lack of time.

In this session, couples will begin to explore what their expectations are for themselves, each other and their relationship along with reflecting on whether these expectations are reasonable or not.

In this session, couples will learn to express their complaints about the little things respectfully. 

They will practice the 4-step Problem-Solving Model as a team, taking the time to thoroughly investigate any underlying concerns before trying to come to a solution.

This session provides a framework for understanding the different ways individuals experience and express love. 

Couples are encouraged to not only recognize their differences but to respect those differences and try to show love in ways that are most meaningful to their partner. 

Couples will examine the important milestones in their lives and think about how these milestones have shaped who they are in their relationships. 

After working on their Road Maps individually, couples share their maps with each other in the hopes that they will better understand, better empathize, and better relate to each other. 

Couples will go through 6 SESSIONS over 1 day with other couples.

Minimum of 4 couples for workshop.

Couples will go through 12 SESSIONS over a WEEKEND with other couples. 

Location either at a retreat center, hotel, conference center, church, or spa. (TBD)
