How Couples Can Avoid/Resolve Conflict: Learn 5 Simple Skills

10FFH02A
Wed 09/29/2010

or

10FFH02B
Wed 11/17/2010


7-8:30pm

All couples have disagreements, but why? Did you know that research now shows the single best indicator of divorce is the way a couple speaks to each other? In this class we'll explain what causes conflict, and teach you a few easy-to-learn techniques that will turn 80% of those potential arguments into opportunities for greater intimacy, instead of frustration and anger. We'll share with you our skills as professional couples mediators and NVC* instructors. Bring your spouse or come alone. This class will also be helpful for people between relationships seeking to improve their partnership skills.
   
Lose Weight without Dieting with Hypnotism and Acupuncture

First Thursdays of the Month at Rivers Manor.

Email Max Rivers to Register or ask questions.

There are three reasons people eat when they are not hungry: habit , emotional stress, and body cravings. Of these, only habit is easily controlled by the conscious will. We'll use light, natural trance-work to speak to the stress issue , and ear acupuncture to lessen the physical cravings. With this kind of support your chance at achieving your weight goals for the New Year greatly increases. This two hour class is an experiential introduction: you'll learn about hypnosis and experience a light trance and find out about what acupuncture can do for you. (Following through on your weight-loss regime will take a few follow-up sessions. Students in this class will get a discount on subsequent hypnosis sessions.)
   
Curious about Hypnosis?

10FHE03
10/20/2010
7-8:30pm

Everyone is curious about hypnosis:

  • Can I be hypnotized?
  • Will you make me cluck like a chicken?
  • Can you stop me from smoking?

And so many more. Max does a form of hypnosis called "Natural Trance." It is a relaxing, restful state that everyone can go into, and which can help with any issue which is controlled by the unconsicous (sleep, long-term issues like habits, physical pain, emotions, etc.)

In this experiential class, you'll learn what hypnosis really is, and get to experience a light trance. For some of you, this single session may be enough to change life-long habits.

Committed Couples Group
An Inexpensive way for you and your spouse
to learn to use NVC
in your relationship

 
Led by: Max Rivers
   
 

 

For 10 years we have been teaching couples to use NVC with their spouses.

Couples who were one step away from divorce, and those who just realize they could get more from their communication have been coming to us for private sessions.

Now, for the first time, we're offering a low-cost alternative:

Committed Couples Group

Each of the four to six couples will get time in group if they want it.

And on evenings when you choose to just listen, you'll learn just as much watching other couples work through their issues.

   
   
When: Call to discuss which evenings work for you and your spouse.
   
   
Time: 7-9:30pm
   
   
Where: Rivers Manor, 508 E. Sedgwick St., Mt. Airy, Phila PA 19119
   
   
Requirement: No NVC requirement. Three session minimum committment.
   
   
Cost: $35-70/session for each couple, sliding scale.
   
 

Call or email Max to discuss your joining this new offering.
