Facilitated by Lauren Morris ("Morris), LMFT, CST

Licensed clinician

About this group

This is a skills-based workshop series for LGBTQ+ couples. WHAT IS IT? This is a structured, 3-session workshop focused on improving communication skills in conflict so that you can have stop having cyclical arguments and have tools to interrupt the pattern. The series offers help with: - Nervous system regulation in conflict - Clear, effective communication tools - Understanding and shifting your conflict cycle - Practicing new ways of responding This is not group therapy. You won’t be processing your relationship in front of others. Participation is structured and skills-focused. You’ll be learning and practicing concrete tools. WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH - The ability to slow things down before escalation - Tools to self-regulate instead of react - Language to express needs without triggering defensiveness - Skills to actually hear your partner - A clear way to repair after conflict WHO IT’S FOR This is a great fit if: - You’re an LGBTQ+ couple who feels generally safe and loving together - You want to improve communication without doing long-term therapy - You’re both willing to try new tools WHO IT’S NOT FOR This workshop is not appropriate if: - Conflict is highly escalated or feels out of control - There is active fear or abuse in the relationship - There is current crisis or suicidality If that’s the case, a more supportive therapeutic setting is recommended.
