As a culture, we tend to
respond to clear and present danger,
neglecting to see that an investment in the future is equally as
important as reacting to an immediate threat. In fact, it can
prevent the “immediate threat”. The team at Relationship Solutions
invites YOU to take care of your relationships by stepping into
consciousness before the alarm of danger sounds. Learn more about the
Imago theory and fill your tool kit with exercises that WORK!

The Interactive Group Experience . . .
One of the most challenging and rewarding opportunities
to
get to know yourself as an individual or a couple on an interpersonal
level is to join a group. An interactive group experience can
provide an exciting and powerful journey into psychological healing and
personal growth. Groups focus on growth through relationship,
specifically through your relationships with other group members.
In this intensive and effective learning environment, instead of just
talking about how you relate to others, you learn from your
interactions with other group members, right in the moment. In
addition, the interactive group provides a vehicle for spiritual
development as it offers an opportunity for the expression of
acceptance, compassion, appreciation and intimacy. Joining a
group is a source of deep bonding with others in community which is
often missing in our fragmented alienated world.
If you are interested in knowing more about what groups are
like, call Relationship Solutions at 562-856-8987 to see which groups
have openings. This initial call is an important statement to
yourself that you are ready for more growth. However, it doesn’t
commit you to joining a group. In fact, the interview and the
initial group session can be done as an experiment to see if the group
is right for you!
After you make that first call, if you want to carry the process
further, the next step is a pre-group interview. During this
time, you and the leader will get to know each other better, the leader
will tell you more about how the group functions and what commitment
you will be asked to make. You will share more about yourself and
what you hope to get from joining a group. If you decide you want
to join, the leader will help to prepare you for group by discussing
any fears or reservations you may have.
Your next step is to come to the first session and meet the
members of the group. You will be able to check out the group, be
introduced to the group format and observe or participate, whichever is
more comfortable for you. If you decide to join the group
formally, you will be asked to sign a form committing yourself to a six
month agreement. You will be committing yourself to become
emotionally involved with the members of the group, to care about them
and to let them care about you. The rewards can be amazing and
well worth the risk.
If you are interested in this incredible experience, contact us
to set up your initial interview.
