Couples Communication Workshop

“The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has happened.” – George Bernard Shaw

Communication is ground zero for all relationships. Successful communication drives trust, self-worth, belonging, and of course – intimacy. Repeated failed communication erodes trust, self-worth, belonging, and intimacy.

Intimacy can be understood as “into me, you will see.” This seeing cannot happen without deep listening and purposeful communication.

Where communication problems are found one also finds emotional disconnect, distance, and eventually cut off. Even the most compatible couples struggle with communication. Don’t fall into the trap that convinces you that all is well because we never fight! Intimacy grows much faster in tough times. Most people get along when times are good. It’s the stressors in life that will come to determine the success of your relationship. Be ready! Get the skills and tools your relationship needs now. This sets you up for success in two ways:

1. Strengthen your intimacy now
2. Prepare you for managing future stressors successfully

Silicon Valley Therapy’s communication workshop gives you the information, skills, and tools you need to accomplish both of these goals. There is no shortage of challenging stressors and opportunities that surface in a couple’s life:

• life transitions: births, deaths, empty nests, career transitions, retirement
• finances
• in-laws
• sex
• spirituality, religion, values
• parenting
• power-sharing and responsibilities

Be prepared when you dive into the deep end of the pool where these issues reside. Know how to swim, and how to reach the other side. Silicon Valley Therapy’s Communication Workshop gives your relationship what it needs to stay afloat.

Our Couples Workshops are delivered with a single couple or with multiple couples in a group format. The workshops can be customized to your specific needs and include the 7 modules listed below. Each module takes one hour to complete. The workshop can be delivered over a weekend or spread out over a number of weeks.
