Trading Places (For Mother’s Day)
It’s a wonderful feeling to be understood by another person. They get you. They accept you. They appreciate you at the deepest level.
Have you ever really felt completely understood by someone? What was that like? How did that affect your relationship with them?
Trading places means “becoming” the other person, and understanding them from their perspective.
Fully listening to someone, and then showing that you understand them, doesn’t just happen. It takes time, energy, a little skill, and a willingness to trade places. This Mother’s Day, take some time to show your moms (and wives) that you honor them by setting yourself aside for the moment, and deeply listening to and understanding them.
Responding with empathy in everyday life means taking the time to notice what the other is feeling. How would they like you to respond to that feeling?

Couples learn healthy, research-proven communication and conflict resolution skills in the comfort of their own home!
— The sessions are fun, interactive, and include lots of practice time together.
This is not a boring, “talking heads” video.

Check Out Some Video Samples:
Exercises are Clearly Demonstrated
Don and Alex briefly demonstrate – with onscreen reinforcement – how to do the “Appreciations” exercise.
Couples Practice Exercises During Each Session
Don and Alex assign couples to practice the exercise on their own using their own topics. A Countdown Clock keeps us on track.
Couples Reflect and Process Each Exercise
