By popular demand, we are transforming our Peace in Relationships Event into a Webinar Series! Register below!
Series Description:
Healthy relationships require effective ways to deal with conflict. During tough times like Covid, our coping tools can get strained, and we might engage in hurtful patterns of interacting. How do we understand ourselves and others, and make decisions that avoid needless heartache? In this four-part webinar series, Love Factually author Dr. Duana Welch will present a science-based perspective on all these topics and more:
Attachment Styles: 11/19 at 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
What’s your habitual way of being in your most intimate relationships? Everyone has an attachment style, starting when we’re babies and continuing through our lives, and it profoundly affects whom and how we love. This webinar will help you to understand this aspect of yourself and others– opening a new world of possibility for healthy communication and love.
Forgiveness: 12/3 at 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
What is forgiveness? Per research, it’s probably not what you learned from religious instruction—yet it has the power to lighten your load and set you free of even decades of hurt. In this webinar, you’ll learn what’s forgivable, how to set boundaries, and how to unshackle yourself from pain of your past, no matter how hurtful.
Avoiding Abusers: 1/28 at 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
What is abuse? Science shows it’s probably not what you thought it was—and early detection is key. In this webinar, you’ll learn the early warning signs and red flags before you spend years or decades in an abusive relationship—and what to do if you or someone you love is already there.
Grieving a Loss: 2/11 at 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Loss is a human universal, yet many of us get told we’re grieving the wrong way. Is there a right way, though? In this webinar, you’ll get the tools to process the hard emotions and realities you’re going through, and learn how to communicate with yourself, others in grief, and even those who have hurt you, so you move through your loss cleanly, without compounding the pain.
