Step Two: Relationship Skills - for adults, teens, kids and infants

Learn how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, “read” people, and undo the bad habits that you picked up in childhood. Learn the rules of fair play in relationships and why you need to put ethics above all else. It’s fun, fascinating and transformative in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Many people say it is their first experience having deep, connected dialogue with their partner or child. It works just as well for singles too.

The primary focus of these ongoing workshops is to teach communication and relationship skills to adults and/or children within the context of the Causal Theory.

You will learn:

• life skills
• problem solving
• effective communication
• ethics and morals
• anger management
• self-esteem
• understanding your effect on people and their effect on you
• perceptions versus projections

Participants in all relationship skills workshops learn to give and receive feedback, which we call mirroring. We teach students how to say what they want to say with more skill so that their point of view may be taken more seriously. We teach students how to have a clean fight. Workshops meet twice monthly. The groups are categorized as follows:
