Relationship 101

Wondering where to begin? Here is a great place to explore some key relationship concepts that are vital for any couple relationship to thrive

Family. We all have one and we all are shaped by our family of origin. This can be both positive or negative or a little bit of both. A couple relationship is not just the joining of two individuals but the joining of two families. Couples that want to thrive need to understand how their relationship is being impacted by their families of origin, for better or for worse. Then, they can choose what kind of family they want to be rather than reacting to past family experience.

Grief is an inevitable part of any couple relationship. Whether it’s grief over infertility and pregnancy loss, changing roles after having kids, chronic illness, a death in the family, you name it. Many couples have to face grief and it can be really hard to feel to connected to your partner as you grieve. This workshop can help you and your partner grieve and stay connected.

In-Law Relationships

Relationships with in-laws can be challenging and create conflict in your couple relationship. These workshops are designed to help you and your partner identify the kind of relationship you want with your in-laws and give you the tools to communicate this with your in-laws.

Welcome to the In-Law Workshop Series! In this brief introduction hear about how these workshops can help you and your partner communicate and stay connected as you relate with your in-laws.

How did you think your relationships with your in-laws or family were going to look when you had kids? How did your partner think things would look? Expectations shape how you and your partner communicate about in-laws and family. This workshop will help you identify what your expectations are and how they are helping or hurting your communication as a couple.

“It is so hard for me to set boundaries with my family or in-laws.” “I don’t get why my partner wants to be so close with their family.” “I feel like my partner cares more about what their family thinks than what I think.” Any of these sound familiar? Want to know what is going on behind these statements? Then it’s time to learn about differentiation and attachment.

Boundaries. We all know the word but they can seem so elusive when it comes to relationships with in-laws and family. What are they? Why do we need them? How do we set them? The answers are all here in this workshop.
