What the #*!@, Sweetie? is a series of 3-workshops for couples, one workshop per month.
You love your partner, and they also happen to be annoying/difficult/confusing sometimes. Don’t let those annoying moments become intolerable!
Being with a partner is one of the most unique, fun, funny, meaningful connections we have, but we are rarely given the skills to navigate the frustrating, lonely, painful moments that arise in our relationship.
Your life is really beautiful. You are beautiful. Your partner is beautiful. Together, through these workshops, we will make your relationship more beautiful and fun, right away.
In these 2-hour workshops, you and your partner will have a cozy corner all to yourselves (this is not group therapy!). Picture a first date at a coffee shop/bar where there are other people around, but the magic you’re creating is only between the two of you. There will be opportunities to ask Katie questions privately, or publicly, your choice; otherwise, it’s the two of you. This is what will happen:
Workshop #1: I love me, and I love you; I need this, and you need that.
- Guided Writing & Sharing Exercise with your partner (not the group): Love Notes
- Learning & Practicing Mirroring: Deep listening to gain deeper understanding
- Identifying Primal Needs: What is it that I most need in our relationship?
Workshop #2: I’m annoying, you’re annoying; let’s have fun!
- Guided Writing & Sharing Exercise with your partner (not the group): Deep Needs & Light Annoyances
- Learning & Practicing Emotion Regulation: Meditation, peaceful movement, partner massage
- Identifying Rupture and Repair Patterns: Non-violent communication techniques that make repairs sweet and easy
Workshop #3: You’re the one for me.
- Guided Writing & Sharing Exercise with your partner (not the group): I choose you.
- Learning & Practicing Vulnerability: I see you.
- Identifying Stories we tell ourselves: Being the author of our relationship
By the end of this series, my hope is that your relationship will feel sweeter, sexier and deeply satisfying.
