Description
For many of us, the hardest thing to achieve and even harder to maintain is INTIMACY. If you ask several people what intimacy means to them, you will get several different answers. This is because to many of us, the issue of intimacy is undefinable. It is our interpretation of “normal” as demonstrated in the families we were raised in. We were programmed by our families’ feelings and attitudes through both overt and covert behaviors. It is these feelings and attitudes that we each internalize and bring to our current love relationships. How many times have you said, “I never want to be like my mother/father,” only to find yourself replicating those same behaviors and patterns you swore to avoid? These patterns were embedded in you during childhood.
This Couples in Progress Workshop is designed to help you identify for yourself, as well as your loved ones, your true meaning of love and intimacy. More importantly, you will recognize what it is that makes you feel loved. A loving relationship is dependent upon a type of communication. This kind of communication is usually opposite of that which most of us witnessed while growing up. Therefore, there is no internal framework to understand what this type of communication sounds like or feels like on both the giving, as well as the receiving end.
How we communicate defines our relationships … not just with others, but with ourselves. Are you aware that others will see you as you see yourself. The problem is that our conscious thoughts do not reveal our deeper perceptions of ourselves. Our past experiences and present day interactions with our loved ones actually reinforce these deeper perceptions and create barriers to the intimacy we seek. By recognizing and removing the obstacles your current style of communication creates, you will come to learn your true feelings and desires and how you can achieve them.
