FAQ

What is this course about?
About a year ago I noticed many of my clients were reporting similar marital issues. It turns out the complexities of changing roles, evolving identity, hormones, sleeplessness, and lots of noise and smells creates a recipe for chaos, and this chaos inevitably impacts marriages. There were certain concepts I found myself reviewing repeatedly with couples and individuals: re-learning yourself by becoming aware of neurobiological changes that occur during parenthood, understanding one's nervous system and the unique nervous system of one's partner, establishing family values, broadening your emotional vocabulary, creating boundaries that resonate with the family values, identifying evolving needs related to sex and intimate connection, re-learning how to communicate and constructively engage in conflict in front of children, and establishing rhythms and standards that honor the unique needs of each partner within the relationship.

How long does this course take?
This course is designed to be self-paced. Depending on the couple, the content could take anywhere from 4 weeks to 1 year. Each chapter consists of 2-3 lessons which include teachings from me and homework that I refer to as "coffee dates" which are some conversation starters and practices to try on that support the information I shared in the lecture.
