Most people have experienced times when attempts to resolve a disagreement only seems to make the problem worse. During these times, it seems that no matter what is said, how much the partners try to explain themselves to each other, or ask the other partner why they are so upset, it just feels like adding gasoline to the flames. Partners may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, agitated, and stuck. If this continues long enough, partners say things to each other that may feel real in the moment, but later regret, and eventually just shut down and go their separate ways. Instead of experiencing resolution, the partners are often left feeling helpless, exhausted, alone, and sad. In this workshop, you will learn five key communication skills to help you calmly talk to your partner effectively and without escalation.
