Optimizing Our Relationships

Optimizing Our Relationships

How frequently do you find yourself acting in ways that you do not like and that lower your self-respect within the important relationships of your life? How frequently do you fail to act in the ways that you want to act with these people?

Would you like look back on your day and feel good about the way you behaved with the people you care about...instead of blaming everyone else for your discomfort. Becoming intentional with your words and actions in relationships is possible. Feeling safe, connected, loving and hopeful in relationships requires just a few simple tools...and then a whole lot of practice putting these tools to work.

Not knowing how our developmental experiences of attachment trauma can impact us in our adult relationships can leave us feeling ashamed and hopeless as we find ourselves habitually engaging in the same patterns of self-defense with our partners, our children, our co-workers and ourselves.

This course will give you the insight and tools to begin to gain traction in becoming the person you choose to be in all the relationships in your life. The more you are able to achieve and sustain intentional behavior in these relationships, the more you are diminishing the power that past trauma and painful experiences have in your present life.
