February 25: Managing Anger Together As A Couple Presenter: Don Ferguson, Ph.D. Often when a partner is having difficulties with anger, we send them to individual or group treatment for anger management skills. In many situations this is appropriate but there are also many couples who could better manage hurt and anger as a team. This seminar will provide an overview of how to help each other with anger.

February 26 & 27: The Couples Workshop Presenter: Don Ferguson, Ph.D. Do you have fights or periods of silence with your partner, that just don’t seem to make sense? Have you experienced a decrease in intimacy? Or do you just want to explore the intricacies of your relationship a bit more deeply in order to build on the good things that are already happening? We are gaining new information almost daily from science on how the body and brain affect our relationships at every level. We will discuss the principles of how these systems and defenses work and how partners can better manage them to build greater trust, intimacy and passion. Couples will have greater understanding of themselves and each other and learn permanently usable, practical relationship tools. These will also be applicable in other relationships such as at work or with friends.
March 12 & 13: Now What? The Secrets to Thriving Through Empty Nest and Retirement Presenter: Don Ferguson, Ph.D. The times when the children leave home and again when you can retire and slow down should be magical and full of possibilities. But we know that many couples struggle with such major transitions and that all can benefit from a clear discussion of what they expect from each other and from themselves given these new possibilities. This workshop will outline that discussion and provide information as to what works and what doesn’t work.
March 26 & 27: The Beginning: Preparation for Marriage Presenter: Don Ferguson, Ph.D. Are you getting ready to make the most important commitment in your life? Have you found the right person to love, cherish and protect forever? This workshop celebrates your relationship but also poses hard questions and starts you off on the right foot of being open, honest and challenging in your life together. We will describe ways in which you can build in safeguards for your relationship but also continue to grow your affection for each other.
