“People are good for each other according to the degree to which they are intimate together.”
Carl Whitaker
Join Dr. Assael and Galit Romanelli as they openly share and unpack patterns, behaviors, and beliefs with which we enter and maintain our relationships. Through this authentic and honest workshop, full of real-life examples and anecdotes, you will be taken on a journey where theory meets practice, past meets future, external meets internal and you are no longer afraid to “say the thing”.
Exploring key concepts like “the red thread”, “business cards”, and differentiation - this unique, interactive workshop taps into all four of your sensory preferences, making this a holistic experience facilitating deeper, internal growth for long-lasting impact. Infusing ideas from the world of systematic therapy, NLP, improvisation, gender theory, and interpersonal communication we explore both the text and sub-text that create our relational space.
The workshop will be facilitated through a combination of lectures, discreet exercises in pairs and group discussion.
No prior experience needed, just an openness and curiosity to start seeing your relationship in a different light.
