MAKING YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WORK Humans are social beings. We are continually in relationship: with our selves, our loved ones, our co-workers, friends and community at large. The quality of our life depends on the quality of our relationships. How are your relationships? Are they a source of joy, fun, pleasure, learning and fulfillment? Or are they a source of frustration, hurt, disappointment, and anger? Are there times you say something that you later regret? Do you harbor angry feelings towards yourself or others? Are there times you feel misunderstood? Are there times you feel that you just cannot understand why people act the way they do? During this program you will: Recognize the challenging aspects in your relationships. Learn ways of tempering your impulse to anger. Identify and address major sources of stress in relationships. Learn techniques of successful communication. Master techniques of "building bridges" and going beyond "tit for tat." Create relationships based on understanding, consideration, empathy, and mutual respect.
