Re-Romanticizing Your Relationship
Very often couples lose the passion in their relationship.
They feel like brother and sister living in the same
house. They enter therapy wishing that their relationship
could be like it was when they first met. This workshop
discusses the traps and pitfalls of relationships and
teaches exercises that increase intimacy.

The Therapeutic Metaphor
You've raised the children, are settled at work, and are
pretty financially comfortable. One day you look in the
mirror and the first thought to pop into your head is,
"Who are you?" You got married in your twenties, spent
the next twenty five raising one, two, three or more
children, and took care of everyone's needs and wants.
BUT....who are YOU? This workshop explores the
possible identity dilemmas of the mid years, and
presents strategies for learning about YOU!

The Sandwich Generation
The children are just about grown. Now it is your turn!
Or so you thought. Now your aged mother in law is
moving in with you. This workshop describes the
caretaking role in the family. As the life span
increases, and more people are living to older ages,
more women take on the caretaking role--taking care
of elders who have moved in with their adult children.
The stresses of this sandwiched family, three
generations living under the same roof, can be
enormous. This workshop presents some of these
stresses and strategies for coping.
