Communication is Golden

3/7/2016

Communication has the power to make or break a relationship. It is the avenue of love -  or the path to destruction. You have the power to choose. So, learning some skill in how to negotiate the daily grind or a long awaited fantastic vacation with grace is a highly sought after prize!
 

Face-to-face and heart-to-heart has kept love and humanity inspired over the centuries.
Recently, screen-to-screen and text-to-text have caused more misunderstandings and disconnections than ever intended.
Gazing eye-to-eye is the stuff of dreams, movies and novels for a reason, as it quickly accesses connection to the core. This communication causes connection through silence. However, you can (single-handedly BTW) sweeten your relationship with words, touch, gesture and a glance. Or you can ignite a destructive force just as easily. 

If your relationship needs care, it is going to receive it through communication. It will not magically heal by relying on the passing of time or an absence of communication. That just doesn't work. Quality communication is the glue in long lasting relationships and the lack of it has couples fall apart.
 
Mastering how to reach your beloved is a critical element to the survival of your relationship. Bringing you closer is at the heart of our work. Equally important is learning how to let your beloved know how to nurture and calm you. All this occurs through communication. We practice this.
 

Ultimately, since you are the primary support for each other, communicating clearly and openly has incomparable power. We will address how to access this power step-by-step in our sessions. We will invent ways to negotiate the terrain of horribly unsuccessful communications that cause distance and pain. Our conversations will design a desirable future for you both. We will illuminate the path to love through simply speaking and listening.


What is possible for YOU through communication?

    “I will never leave you.”

    “I will never frighten you purposely.”

    “When you are in distress I will relieve you, even if I’m the one causing the distress.”

    “Our relationship is more important than my need to be right, your performance, your appearance, what other people think or want, or any other competing value.”

    “You will be the first to hear about anything and not the 2nd, 3rd or 4th person I tell.”
