Description
By joining this 12-part workshop, with top Jewish psychologist Sarah Chana Radcliffe on having a fightless marriage you will discover how to:
- Liberate yourself from triggers so that you are free to choose a positive, connection-building response, rather than an automatic, negative reaction.
- Strengthen your relationship by building an unbreakable sense of togetherness rather than going head-to-head when a conflict arises.
- Communicate about the hard stuff without dissolving into a fight and begin to enjoy how seamlessly you can problem-solve together.
- Empower your spouse to neutralize negative reactivity by creating an environment of peacefulness and calm.
- Build a warm, loving environment for your family to thrive in by staying calm and level-headed, even when provoked.
