Course Descriptions

This course is for you if you want to:

learn skills for dealing with anger and conflict learn how to rebuild goodwill with each other learn how to regard each other with dignity and respect separate with your self-esteem intact

Description:
This weekend course is for couples who are having difficulty resolving conflicts. It may be the result of 'a lack of communication', an affair, extreme frustration, years of 'all work and no play', or the strain of blending two new families. Whatever the reason, you may be considering whether you want to be together, and how you can resolve differences and have the kind of relationship you want. You will not be told whether you 'should' stay together or not. Only you can make that decision.

Format:
Couples will work together as a pair in a small group setting with much individualized attention. Also, each couple will receive a private counselling session to deal with their own particular issues. Various exercises will be presented to help bring clarity to your relationship, including 'homework' to be done outside of session hours.

Note:
The listed price is per person, not per couple.

Faculty:
Judy Sellner

Testimonials: "There were several things I liked about the course. First, the content which gave us some great tools and new perspectives. And second, although the course was about conflict and there were 4 couples participating it was conducted in such a way that privacy was respected and that was refreshing. We could concentrate on learning how to deal with conflict and had time to practice what we were learning." August 2007 "The content was excellent. I really like the tools offered." August 2007 "It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with my partner, to see her and be seen by her as we really are, rather than what we have learned to be. The course has allowed us to start communicating in a calmer and more constructive fashion, and hopefully started us on a journey of learning to better to each other." August 2007 "The concepts learned in this course are fundamental to ALL relationships within families and within all other areas of life." August 2007 "Our facilitator Judy Sellner was wonderful. Very comfortable to be with from the very start. Covered a lot of information and stayed on topic." August 2007
