The opportunity to uncover your communication patterns and how they may be contributing towards resentment or separation in your relationships. This is meant for people who genuinely want to be intentional communicators and increase their capacity to be response-able. The more we understand why we react in a particular way, the clearer we can be in our conversations.
This program is not only about communication tools and strategies (although you'll find plenty!) but about widening your perspective around all the layers that are present when we are relating with other people.
How we communicate shapes all of our relationships. It's surprising that we don't learn those skills in school. But we can do so now.
We'll gather via zoom once a week for four weeks. You'll be able to ask questions, receive feedback and practice key relational skills.
We'll also go over each step in more detail and practice in real life how we can have better conversations. These calls are highly interactive and your participation will be encouraged.
Dates:
TBD
Those you can't join live will be able to send their questions in advance. Questions will be replied via email as calls won't be recorded to protect the intimacy and confidentiality created in the space.
There’s not a right or wrong way to go about this; we each have our pace. You can go through all the content in one go, or you can spread it out.
What we have found most valuable is to go through the content two or three times. So we recommend you aim to spend 3-4 weeks reviewing the videos, completing the worksheets, and practicing some of the skills. Then, we invite you to take a break and dive into the content again, as it is likely that you will discover new things each time around. You'll have unlimited access to the content.
Ideally, you’d like to spend about 1-2 hours a week, for about 3-4 weeks, to go over the content and complete all the worksheets plus the 90min Community Call. The practice portion of this program will be ongoing. You can think about the next few months as an ongoing exploration into your communication, with plenty of opportunities to notice your coping mechanisms and how they impact how you listen, speak, and respond to your triggers.
Make sure you have friends or expert support, such as a certified mental health professional, if needed, available to help you process your experience. If you have experienced severe trauma, please check with your mental health providers before embarking on this journey. Be gentle with yourself, and take your time doing this program. Reach out to hello@everythingbetweenus.com if you have any questions or need help.
It would be wonderful if both of you were open to completing this program and then practicing the skills together. But as therapist and relationship expert, Esther Perel, says, “You change the other by changing yourself.” So by changing how YOU communicate with your partner, you will see a change in the relationship.
You’ll have access to this content for life - or for as long as this program exists.
Upon request we offer a "sliding scale" option. This is meant to open a different conversation around money, one when we are invited to look at our financial resources and levels of economic advantage. Please be mindful that if you request a lower price when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket price, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility.
Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of teachers, facilitators, and creators, like us. Additionally, when we are paid fairly, we are able to invest more time and resources to create free and lower-cost offerings.
Email us at hello@everythingbetweenus.com to inquiry.
(sliding scale language inspired by conversations with @ToiMarie)
