Workshop Description:

Have you ever had a couple that hurt each other? And you just couldn’t get them to stop? A couple who had stopped helping each other? And you just couldn’t get them to start? Chances are, they were stuck in a Fear Cycle. They were making war, they weren’t making love. And, chances are, you were stuck in their Fear Cycle, too. It can happen very easily. This workshop will provide you with a new, powerful yet simple tool to understand and break these stuck cycles. So you can help couples see their own cycles and get out of them.
