Developing the Art of Romantic Intelligence:A Workshop for Women
Leader: Frances Verrinder MFT 415 647 3262
Many women have suffered from emotional disruptions in early family relationships that make it difficult to feel safe in intimate relationships and difficult to develop rewarding long-term romantic partnerships as adults. Utilizing attachment theory, family systems, expressive arts, somatic awareness, and mindfulness meditation, this workshop is designed to help you:
• Identify your attachment issues
• Become aware of trauma-based responses, ambivalence, and avoidance
• Identify fear, physical constriction, and body language that send non-verbal stay-away messages
• Demystify the process of approaching and feeling close to others
• Develop flexible boundaries, learn assertiveness and self protection
• Recover a strong sense of self and self love
• Cultivate a powerful sense of femaleness and femininity
This workshop includes experiential small group work, mini-lectures, and guided group discussion to develop "romantic intelligence" so that you can begin to move into the world of successful relationship.
