Loving Bravely Module 1 - Introduction to Relational Self-Awareness: From Outside-In to Inside-Out
Copyright :
In a world of dating apps that present seemingly limitless romantic possibilities, our clients often get stuck in “low accountability” intimate relationships that foster pessimism and anxiety.
They often show up in our offices complaining there are “no good people left out there” or that it’s “impossible to get a relationship off the ground.”
In this course, we’ll take an integrative approach to understanding the causes and consequences of relational ambivalence, and discover clinical tools to help clients identify and manage their relational boundaries so they’re better able to create happy, healthy intimate relationships.
