Communication is more than just talking
The Problem: The couple has frequent arguments or they argue in ways that are damaging to the relationship and to each other. When problems do arise, the couple has a difficult time resolving the issues that are present. When they try to have conversations or discussions about issues, the couple frequently have misunderstandings, and the partners have a hard time verbally acknowledging the positive actions that each have displayed.
This course is designed to:
- Help partners communicate about their feelings of emotional issues without the discussion turning into a verbal fight
- Help partners discuss and resolve problems without it turning into a verbal fight
- Help each partner listen to and understand the other’s perspective
- Help the couple realize that they can communicate with each other and that doing so will not automatically turn into a fight
- Help each partner understand what are the emotional “triggers” for themselves and for their partner
- Help each partner verbally acknowledge the other’s for positive things that they have done
