Whether you are looking to move in together or planning your wedding, it is an exciting period in your partnership and it can be hard to imagine a time when you are not on the same page. Part of this planning should be about the life you want to build together. Couples who attend Mediation prior to living together, or once engaged, can improve their communication, how to fight fair, and obtain tools for better problem-solving.
In Mediation, Christine teaches couples techniques to improve their communication using active listening, assumption checking, and collaborative problem-solving. The techniques improve individuals understanding of self, how they are using their mind, to reduce defend patterns that contribute to hurts between partners. The mediation process improves couples’ intimacy by orientating towards conflict with understanding, problem-solving, and support.
