Rethinking Relationships is a professional development course that examines the complexities of personal and professional relationships through a therapeutic arts lens and the role of the therapeutic arts as a modality for deepening healthy connections in adult relationships.
Participants will learn the importance of one’s relationship with self, the impact of family of origin, internal working models, the role of conflict for growth, boundary setting, how to create emotional safety in relationships, and building connection through healthy boundaries.
