Meeting you where you are
I'm so glad you're here! Let me start off by saying that it's normal to feel completely overwhelmed at this point. I get it. In fact, that's where I was when I first starting looking for ways to reign in the chaos in my own life, partnership, and parenting.
And I promise you: there is a path out of the chaos!
Before we dive into the course, I want to ground each of us in the power of now. When I say that, I mean that now is the perfect time to:
- Start from exactly where you are, without needing to "prep" in any way;
- Ditch any embarrassment or shame you may feel about feeling like there is something to "fix" in your partnership (more on this below, and much more to come!); and
- Start noticing the patterns and thoughts we have, without judgment.
The absolute best place to start learning anything is exactly where you are now--you are bringing a wealth of life experiences and perspectives to bear on this course, and in your partnership. I'm here to help you unlock a few key insights that will help you move even closer toward the thriving partnership that you can envision for yourself.
Now, a note on shame and embarrassment: I want to reassure you that every partnership has something that is out of alignment. Even the neighbors that seem to be perfectly at peace. Even your friend with a perfect Instagram feed showing a serene household. Even me!
Research shows that the number of couples who wish they could engage in couples counseling far exceeds the number who actually act on it. And by signing up for this course, you've taken an important action step.
You're in the majority for feeling like your partnership could improve; and you're among the select few taking the time to learn more about how to address it. And I commend you for that!
I'm so excited to get started with you, and to introduce you to other partners who will walk alongside you in this journey.
