Description
Description: This workshop presents a practical and emotionally intelligent approach to repairing and strengthening relationships. It addresses the gap between outdated relational habits and modern needs for intimacy, emphasizing the value of vulnerability, emotional maturity, and accountability. Core tools include recognizing destructive patterns like control and withdrawal, adopting “winning strategies” such as constructive complaint and radical generosity, and building relational joy through empathy, clear communication, and mutual respect.
Syllabus Description: The repair process is a detailed formula for helping someone in a state of hurt or frustration move back into satisfactory connection. The process begins with the speaker, teaching the distressed person how to use the feedback wheel- a fourstep prescription for speaking that is effective and clean. Then we tum to the skills of listening and responding, laying out techniques of radical generosity-a sophisticated way to understand your partner's experience and respond to it in the most responsible, (and disarming) manner.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how to give honest and truthful criticism to a partner.
- Given a difficult relationship, show how there is hope for radical and lasting change.
