Week 1
IN THIS LESSON
Let’s explore the science of intimacy building in relationships through several research supported exercises.
The ‘Story of Us’ exercise is an evidenced-based tool that we will use as a foundation for later work to address our thoughts, memories, and feelings about the relationship.
The ‘Infinity Cycle of Conflict’ is an evidenced-based tool from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) that we will return to throughout each module to help us change the way we address challenges, communication, and intimacy.
Homework: Writing and editing your relationship ‘story’, Mapping your individual and relationship patterns in conflict and communication, and beginning to incorporate grounding exercises and ‘I’ language.
