Attracting the Partner You Want with Authentic Communication
You are brave – you want a relationship with another person – and kids.
So how do you up your chances of success?
With kids in the mix, more is at risk. There is more to evaluate. There are more demands.
We enter into couples' relationships ill-trained. We are less trained on choosing a partner when kids are in the equation and, once we do, how to succeed.
In this workshop, we will go beyond exploring these concerns – we will begin to train you in using what may seem like hurdles as levers to choose and start a successful relationship with a partner and kids.
We will explore how to step out of limiting beliefs and behaviors that we inherited to discover that deeper desires and vulnerabilities are the keys that unlock ourselves and others to open the door to a relationship of connection.
Dalia Anderman, LMFT, uses her years of an Emotional Focus Therapist (EFT) to help individuals and couples find ways to connect when they have reached the limits of their skills. Sue Johnson, Ph.D. developer of EFT and one of our teachers, researched how authentic communication is what naturally brings us together. Dalia, with EFT, honed the art of teaching how to use innate abilities to be authentic – even when it’s difficult.
Owen Marcus, over the course of four decades, through his work in his integrative medical clinic and with men, developed an effective way to use our emotional physiology as a tool to down-regulate stress and up-regulate co-regulation (connection). EVRYMAN continues to train men in the simple skills most men never saw or were never taught.
