Yearning for more love in your relationship?
The desire to be in a loving relationship is something many couples yearn for and now with the increase in the stress and uncertainty as a result of the current coronavirus Covid 19 environment, maybe even more so.
Wanting to feel heard, listened to and understood?
The need to experience these qualities and characteristics in our relationship are universal and when they are present can lead to exceptionally rewarding and satisfying relationships. However if these qualities are not there in your relationship at the moment, take heart, they can be learnt and can become a natural part of your relationship.
Yearning for genuine intimacy?
That sense of ultimate connectedness which we call “intimacy” can really only be experienced in its fullest when a genuine sense of safety is established. This requires that the interactions and communications that we experience in our relationship demonstrate caring, compassion and understanding at all times.
Seeking better communication?
The foundation stone of a rewarding relationship, communication leads to a way of being together that can lift a relationship to the realms of the sublime. Effective communication is almost an art form and although the basics can be taught easily, the subtilties and the nuances which are what take a relationship to the next level, can only be aquired through demonstration, discussion and coaching.
