Listening and Speaking from the Heart
A Workshop for Couples
- Do you find yourselves arguing about the same old things without getting any resolution? Are blame and resentments creeping into your conversations?

In this online course, you will:
- Learn how empathy and self-expression work together for greater understanding.
- Practice new ways of listening and speaking with each other for improved communication.
- Share with each other in ways that give you each the opportunity to have more of what you want in your relationship.
- Learn how to “take a pause” to de-escalate arguments or disagreements, without leaving either of you feeling dismissed, abandoned, or shamed.
In this online course you will practice:
- Gratitude: Appreciating your partner for things that they said or did that enriched your life in a way that is enjoyable for them to hear.
- Honest Expression: Telling your partner about painful experiences you have had in the relationship in a way that makes it more likely they can hear you and be open to adjusting their behavior.
- Non-judgmental Listening: Understanding what really matters to your partner – what they need in order to thrive in the relationship, and how you can support them in a way that also works for you.
- Requests: Sharing what you need and welcoming your partner’s proposals, as foundations for intimacy & positive changes
