Humanistic Communication

The goal of this program is to help you acquire communication skills that will provide you a calmer, more respectful home-life. It all starts with how you communicate with each other during interactions.

The most intense interactions are often the ones with your spouse and children. In those relationships, you have the most vulnerability, passion, and the most ‘at stake’.  

Often we jump in to these interactions at full speed, and expect things like accuracy, clarity, function, and mutual respect.  Without the necessary communication skills or training we can find ourselves acting in anger and then regretting our behavior.

To remove ourselves from this cycle, it is necessary to acquire new skills and communicate differently.

Tip - Slow down, interacting at your normal rate will only allow you to continue the habits and reactions you have always experienced Think about what you are hearing and saying before you react.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
