You can do more than merely survive those busy stages of life. You and your partner can learn to thrive by designing communication that keeps you connected even when you're feeling pulled in different directions. Your guide will help you re-experience communication and deepen your intimacy in this area. Come ready for gentle, guided discussion. While we strive to offer you educational therapy content, the goal of this class is to drive connection between you and your partner, offering a space for you both to be vulnerable about your needs. Once the therapist has guided you through exercises and personal reflections, they'll open up the class for questions. You'll be able to ask our therapist anything, anonymously. Note: your attendance is completely anonymous and there is no audio or video required to ask questions. Can't join live? That’s okay! Many people prefer to use on-demand videos. Everyone who signs up will gain access to the live video recording.
