Helping People Connect
| By Anne Hancock, Psy.D.
Just a simple reminder on how well you’re doing.
Those anxious moments you had a year ago are gone.
The problem was either resolved or it faded into the background. Something you live with but no longer think of as urgent.
Today there are other issues – for sure!
And, knowing you can get through every single overwhelming moment makes it easier to see what’s real.
When we give our attention to the important stuff instead of the panic within, we learn to build a cycle of goodness.

Can you relate? It happens to all of us.
It’s that moment in your relationship when things are great and suddenly someone gets triggered.
The conversation goes off the rails and your partner makes NO sense.
Communication goes in circles and you both feel frustrated, hurt and confused.
Intuitively you know it’s a negative loop – one that’s almost impossible to stop.
You’ve been here 100 times before and you want to stop it………. but you can’t
You’d love to get your point across. But, what you want MOST is to be heard and understood.
Sometimes you’re left wondering what the heck the argument was even about.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
These negative cycles are UNIVERSAL and every couple has them.

Yep. I’m that excited.
Most of us value our primary relationship and truly want to make it better – we read books and spend hours scouring the internet wondering how to make that special connection happen.
We carefully and regularly attend to our…
with LOTS of success.
But if you work your tail off and can’t figure out why things aren’t getting better between you and your partner — you are not alone.
(HINT: this is not something we’re taught in school. And people rarely recognize emotional closeness as a skill worth building and cultivating. Turns out, it’s as essential as oxygen!)
Make no mistake – the ability for a couple to have enough closeness and trust to have an important conversation (or any conversation for that matter!) without slipping into a negative spin – is a must-have for 21st century relationships.
And that’s exactly what you’ll learn in our Hold Me Tight® Workshop for Couples.
After 2 days and 7 conversations, you’ll walk away with concrete ways to communicate and pull your partner closer.
Talking, listening and being heard for the first time in a loooooong time is exactly what you’ll experience.

If you kick back now and then to reflect, you know almost everything in your world is good.
You’re successful by any standards. You have wonderful people in your life, a nice home, cars and plenty of toys.
Life works and most days you’re happy.
Sometimes you might feel over extended, criticized or exhausted and what you need MOST is to connect with your partner.
The challenge is getting their attention….. effectively…. without slipping into an argument or negative spin.
And while you don’t expect perfection, at the end of the day, when you’re out of public view you know things can be better.
You are prepped and ready to experience our amazing…
It’s our final workshop of the year and the perfect opportunity to carve out “time for us” while getting up close and personal with the ONE you love.

I’ve created Couples & Coffee, a 3-part workshop designed to provide some new perspectives on the world of relationship. The first 2 evenings are for women and we’ll be inviting men to join us for the 3rd evening.
You already know attracting a partner, shaping a relationship and loving your life is a tall order. But how do you create an environment that nurtures and nourishes a relationship? And in this hyper-active world, how do you make space for love to thrive?
Couples & Coffee is a very special conversation about having the courage to pause, try something new and approach your relationship in a playful, non-threatening way that’s still full of respect and integrity.
