Fixing Your Relationship Communication
Last week, I shared with you my Relationship Communication Checklist, and I want to expand on that idea with some other communication tips this week.
Relationship communication doesn’t have to be complicated, but so often it feels like it is. Over the years I have found that so often my clients struggle to have conversations about the things that really matter to them.

having courageous conversation can feel scary, but it’s also the only way I know to take communication to the next level and to allow you to feel more and more connected to your partner!

Relationship Communication Workshop Updates
I have created an online Relationship Communication Workshop to help you dig into the communication struggles in your relationship and start getting things back on track. I have had a number of participants submit reviews and suggestions of different lessons that would be a great addition to the workshop. I want this to be as helpful as possible, so I have decided to listen to the feedback and expand the course to include even more relationship guidance.
There is an entire section that will be devoted to understanding even more about the love languages. I will also be providing you with more details into how to manage them in relationships.
I realize that not everyone wants to go through long-term therapy or the process of getting to a therapy appointment may not fit into your busy schedule. That's why I created this course. I wanted to provide you with a way to get access to the tools my clients get from me in my practice, but you can access the material from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are.
