FAQs
Will we have to share our personal problems and issues with the class? No. The class does not include sharing problems and issues with the group. Couple’s exercises are done privately.
Must both partners attend or can I come alone? Yes, the class involves exercises for couples, not individuals.
My partner isn’t a reader. Can we still attend if he/she won’t read the book? Yes, still attend. While the book provides valuable information, the brief lectures will summarise the content of the book. Each person will need the couples workbook however, to do the couple’s exercises efficiently. If there are any concerns, please let us know to work out a solution.
Is this workshop equivalent to therapy or counselling? No. This workshop is educational and aimed to build skills and knowledge. It is not a replacement for couples therapy.
