SUMMARY:Build Your Relationship 3-Hour Online Workshop (December 3)
DESCRIPTION:Relationship Building – The Alternative to Therapy\nDo you want to get closer to your partner? Do you feel that you have a strong relationship\, but want to make it even better?  Are you in a tough spot in your relationship\, and need to find ways to improve it? \nOne way to accomplish these goals is to go to therapy.  Many people find satisfaction in couples counseling.  But couple’s counseling is not for everyone.  There are many reasons why people might not want to go to therapy. They may feel that it makes them look crazy or weak.  They may feel that therapists don’t help – that therapists are too “hands off”– that they want you to try to figure out your problems for yourself. \nRelationship Building provides an alternative to therapy.  It’s about building ways of communicating with each other so that you can solve your own problems\, stop arguing\, and achieve greater harmony and closeness.  It’s about building skills to build your relationship. \nThe key to any relationship is effective communication – and particularly the capacity to resolve conflict.  In our 6-week workshop\, you will learn to: \n·      Turn disagreement into an opportunity to enhance your relationship \n·      Identify the core needs that each of you have in your relationship \n·      Find ways to meet each other’s needs \n·      Approach each other with calmness\, compassion and care \nFee: $25.00 /Individual or Couple \nNote. We are a nonprofit.  We are here to teach and to help.  We are not here to make money.  All proceeds go into Creating Common Ground to help us bring our programs to people.  If you have financial difficulty\, email us at michaelmascolo@creatingcommonground.org. No one will be turned away due to inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Relationship Building: How to Express Your Needs and Get What You Want (8/28)
DESCRIPTION:Relationship Building: How to Express Your Needs and Get What You Want \nDo you want to get closer to your partner? Do you feel that you have a strong relationship\, but want to make it even better?  Are you in a tough spot in your relationship\, and need to find ways to improve it? \nIf you are like many couples\, arguments occur when one person feels blamed by the other.  The person who feels blamed becomes defensive.  People get angry\, and an argument ensues.   \nThere’s another way.  Instead of blaming your partner\, you can state your needs.  When you state your needs\, instead of pointing the finger at your partner\, you tell your partner what is important inside of YOU. We’ll show you how to do this.  And you can use this strategy the next time you have an issue with your partner. \nFee: 12.00/Individual or couple.  \nNote. We are a nonprofit.  We are here to teach and to help.  We are not here to make money.  All proceeds go into Creating Common Ground to help us bring our programs to people.  If you have financial difficulty\, email us at michaelmascolo@creatingcommonground.org.

SUMMARY:Build Your Relationship 3-Hour Online Workshop (7/30) Copy
DESCRIPTION:Relationship Building – The Alternative to Therapy \n  \nDo you want to get closer to your partner? Do you feel that you have a strong relationship\, but want to make it even better?  Are you in a tough spot in your relationship\, and need to find ways to improve it? \n  \nOne way to accomplish these goals is to go to therapy.  Many people find satisfaction in couples counseling.  But couple’s counseling is not for everyone.  There are many reasons why people might not want to go to therapy. They may feel that it makes them look crazy or weak.  They may feel that therapists don’t help – that therapists are too “hands off”– that they want you to try to figure out your problems for yourself. \n  \nRelationship Building provides an alternative to therapy.  It’s about building ways of communicating with each other so that you can solve your own problems\, stop arguing\, and achieve greater harmony and closeness.  It’s about building skills to build your relationship. \n  \nThe key to any relationship is effective communication – and particularly the capacity to resolve conflict.  In our 6-week workshop\, you will learn how to \n  \n·      How to turn disagreement into an opportunity to enhance your relationship \n·      Identify the core needs that each of you have in your relationship \n·      How to find ways to meet each other’s needs \n·      Approach each other with calmness\, compassion and care \n  \n Fee: 49.99/Individual or Couple \nNote. We are a nonprofit.  We are here to teach and to help.  We are not here to make money.  All proceeds go into Creating Common Ground to help us bring our programs to people.  If you have financial difficulty\, email us at michaelmascolo@creatingcommonground.org.
