Workshops

The Relationship Skills Workshops

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. Topics include life skills, effective communication, ethics, morals, anger management, self-esteem, healthy arguing, understanding your effect on people and their effect on you, and perception 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. We also teach problem solving, ethics and tools for deciphering projections from perception. We teach students how to have a clean fight. Most workshops meet twice monthly at either the Valencia or West Los Angeles location. The groups are categorized as follows:
