Mirroring, Validation, and Empathy - Strategies for Open, Healthy, and Honest Communication
Scott Erker
By learning and using this communication technique, "couples are able to create stronger
relationships by first becoming more aware of just how deeply interconnected we all
are." By offering a change to recognize the unconscious agenda each partner brings
to the relationship, both can grow together in a creative, non-controlling and healing
way based in understanding each other's wants and needs.
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
