CREATING CONNECTION AND RESPECT IN YOUR FAMILY

A Conscious Communication Program

• Are you tired of yelling at your children out of frustration and feeling powerless?
  
• Do you get triggered and lose your ability to interact with your children or partner according to your values?

• Are you frustrated because you don’t know how to respectfully get your children to do what you want them to do?
• Do you sometime feel like a failure as a parent because of the ways you act with your children?
• Are you frustrated because your partner doesn't seem to understand you?
• Are you tired of the adversarial interactions in your home?
  
• Are you concerned about how your relationship with your partner is impacting your children?

DO YOU WANT TO:

• have a way to communicate with your family that actually WORKS?
  
• be able to know why your child is acting the way he is - and then know what to do about it?
  
• learn how to use NVC in a way that sounds authentic and natural?
  
• stop being being afraid when conflict arises because you have the tools and skills to deal with it?
  
• be able to enjoy and be present with your children and partner because you’re no longer spending your time trying to figure out how to handle situations? 
  
• finally be able to have YOUR needs met while also also taking care of your children's?
  
• get clarity on why you get triggered with your spouse or child, and have a effective way to address it?

If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, Carolyn and I 

have created a Program just for you!

We've combined our NVC*, parenting and emotional healing knowledge and experience into a Program that will give you all you need to shift to effectively communicating with your children and spouse. We'll teach you the communication fundamentals, directly relate them to to your day-to-day life and address the core issues in your family. We'll provide you with examples, practice, handouts and ongoing support to bring you the deepest integration by the end of the program. We're excited to combine both of our lives' work and to share it with you in this unique program!

*Nonviolent Communication based on the work of Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg, cnvc.org
