Turning Down the Heat: How to Move from Conflict to Connection

Date: April 17, 2019

Time: 1:30 PM

Register today for this free 60-minute webinar on how to move from conflict to connection in your intimate relationship. Most of us find it hard to be in conflict with the person we love. But conflict does not have to be aggressive, scary or heated. Conflict can even lead to greater understanding and growth on each person's part. In this webinar you'll have an opportunity to learn how to:

• Slow down and be less reactive, more intentional in your discussion.
• Avoid the pitfalls and land mines that make conflict in relationships difficult.
• Make it safe from judgment and blame, and help your partner or spouse feel more inclined to engage and be open.
• Repair hard feelings after an argument, and restore a sense of closeness and closure.
  
• Unpack a misunderstanding so that each of you feel heard and better able to meet each other's needs.
  
  

A free recording of this webinar will be available to watch at your convenience for a limited time after the live presentation, so if you cannot tune in at the time or date indicated above, you can still view the recording. As long as you register for the webinar, a recording will be sent to you by email within 24 hours of the live cast.

direct billing available

We offer direct billing to 10 major insurers in Alberta. Direct billing reduces your out-of-pocket expenses, and eliminates the hassle of submitting your receipts for reimbursement. Ask us to submit your claim for you at your next visit.

**Disclaimer: For most insurance companies, we are only able to direct bill for services rendered by our fully registered psychologists. Some of our associate clinicians are provisionally registered. Our experience has shown that most insurance companies do reimburse for the services of a provisionally registered psychologist, but you will need to submit your receipt for reimbursement on your own if the psychologist you are receiving services from is provisionally registered.
