🙍🏾♀️ Do you often feel stuck while communicating with your family?
😢 Are you hesitant to express your true feelings because you fear misunderstanding, hurt, or rejection?
☹️ Do you struggle to negotiate expectations or settle conflicts without someone compromising their needs?
💞 Would you like to be able to express love, as well as have difficult conversations more openly within your family?
Families can be difficult to navigate. It's common to struggle with communication with our loved ones. Even those who are successful in upholding collaboration, teamwork and harmony in social situations, can experience conflict, rigidity and hopelessness within their family dynamics. Family conflicts, including everyday skirmishes, can leave us feeling disconnected, angry, hurt, and avoidant. But why does this happen, and can it be changed?
<aside> ❤️ Our deepest longing for acceptance, connection, feeling safe & cared for, and being heard for our feelings is most profound within our family relationships. Who wouldn't want more honesty, warmth, care, and acceptance in their closest bonds?

<aside> 💡 Reimagining Family offers a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to communication and conflict resolution within our family spaces. It draws upon Nonviolent communication (as developed by M. Rosenberg), neuroscience and mindfulness to cultivate a holistic understanding of the why, what and how of the way we engage with our families, and what 'change' means in that context. Its trauma informed approach and focus on need-based communication sets it apart from many other approaches for improving interpersonal interactions.
