How Building a Lasting Connection™ Can Help Your Relationship
01.
EXPLORING ATTACHMENT:
In our initial session, we will delve into the concept of love and its intrinsic connection to secure attachment. We will explore the four distinct attachment styles and how each one exerts its influence on your relationship dynamics. An essential focus will be on understanding how your early life experiences shape your responses within your relationship. To gain insight into your own relational and emotional well-being, you and your partner will complete the Brief Accessibility, Responsiveness, and Engagement Scale. We will also examine how feelings of loneliness can impact not only your emotional health but also your physical well-being.
02.
MASTERING COMMUNICATION:
Our second session will revolve around the intricacies of couples' communication and active listening. You will be introduced to a specialized form of communication known as "Connecting Talk." Additionally, you'll become acquainted with the practical use of the Lasting Connections™ mat, a valuable tool to facilitate productive discussions. You and your partner will work together with this tool to enhance your proficiency in meaningful and successful communication.
03.
Embrasing DIFFERENCES:
In this session, we will embark on a journey to comprehend the inner workings of the human brain, exploring mirror neurons and the limbic system in the context of managing differences. You and your partner will examine and dissect negative interaction patterns that could potentially lead to conflicts. The reverse side of the Lasting Connections™ mat will be your guide in transitioning from conflict to connection. You'll also gain insights into providing emotional support and effective collaboration.
04.
THE POWER OF PHYSICAL CONNECTION:
Our fourth session focuses on the profound impact of physical touch on relationship happiness. You and your partner will uncover the four essential elements of a fulfilling physical connection: romance, time, foreplay, and privacy. We will delve into the three distinct types of intimacy, with a particular emphasis on the type rooted in safe and secure emotional connection. Effective communication will be an underlying theme throughout, making this a valuable workshop for enhancing couples' interaction and intimacy.
05.
FORGING SHARED GOALS:
In our concluding session, you and your partner will navigate the five key milestones in the journey toward a lasting and meaningful relationship: getting to know each other, fostering emotional connection, building trust, solidifying commitment, and nurturing physical intimacy. We will also explore the significance of daily rituals designed to foster connection and deepen your bond.
