I have recently made a webinar going over my SAIL technique that you can view here:
Webinar Format:

Part 1 – The hidden messages behind how we interact and conflict. Coronavirus and its effect on relationships is covered.

I describe common issues that create conflict during tense situations. How we start difficult conversations, how we can better communicate to each other and how we can come to a resolution that makes us each feel respected and listened to. My “SAIL” technique is a process we can use in our relationship conflicts that reduces the “four horseman” of divorce: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling.

Part 2 – Guided exercises

I walk participants through guided exercises that can be practiced and immediately applied during these difficult times.  (20 minutes)

Part 3 – Q&A

If couples have specific questions they can ask them anonymously and I will answer them to the group. (10-20 minutes)
