For Couples: Practicing Compromise Together
Click here to join this online Talkspace session.
Research says that 2/3 of all conflict stems from perpetual, unsolvable problems. This means for the majority of conflicts, each partner will need to identify where they can be flexible with their needs and practice compromise. In this class, you’ll work through some simple exercises to help you and your partner reach a healthy compromise. When you can end your conflicts this way, you learn to honor each other’s needs and minimize your conflicts going forward. Don’t let a lack of compromise keep you from connecting. Come ready for a gentle, guided discussion. While we strive to offer you educational therapy content, the goal of this workshop 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.

Nurturing Adolescence

Adolescence can feel overwhelming for you and your kid. It’s normal to want to just get through it as quickly as possible because of all the hormonal, emotional, physical, and social changes. Yet merely surviving adolescence with your kid deprives you of the incredible opportunity to connect with them and to shape the adult that they’ll become. In this class, your host will unpack the important brain and body changes of adolescence and guide you in how to support your kid through these changes. You’ll learn how to thrive in this adolescent stage by boosting your kid’s brain development in the areas of problem-solving, empathy, and executive functioning skills.
