Workshops >Relationships: True Colors and Love Languages

Regarding your parents:
Are you angry with a parent over the way they still want to control you?
Are you still trying to get their approval?
You "know" your parent loves you, but do you feel loved by your parent? Do their words and actions differ?

No matter how old one is, it seems that kids are always looking for support and encouragement from their parents, because support and encouragment means love.

Regarding your siblings:
Why can some siblings hurt you, criticise you, and never seem to support you, no matter what?
Some people have a better relationship with a colleague or friend than with their own siblings. Why is that?

Regarding your children:
Do you get frustrated or angry by your child's actions or emotions?
Do you want to understand them better?

Are you saddened over the lack of communication and respect from your teen?
Do you fear that your teen will make choices that are harmful to them?

Everyone wants the best for their child, and you are no different.
That's why it is so frustrating when they don't listen or obey.
That's why you get angry when you know they are capable of something better - something that will allow them to improve themselves in this world.
That's why you feel sad over their less-than-perfect behaviors or fear for their safety and future!

What does unconditional love mean?
Simply put, it means love without conditions. It means being able to share whatever you need to, whenever you need to, to whomever you want without being judged, blamed, or criticized. It means being able to express feelings without guilt. It means having assurance that the other person accepts you as you are...faults included. And when there are faults, they gently guide and support you as you learn from them rather than belittle you, condemn you or say "See, I told you so.

Regarding co-workers and others:
Why is it that some people are always on time and others are not? Or that some people finish projects early but others wait until "crunch" time?

Why is it that some people express their emotions easily while others are so aloof and distant?

Have you noticed that some people love to break the rules while others can't seem to bend them for any reason?

Do you know anyone who is domineering and always has to be right while others you know may be too meak and always conforming?

Why is it that some always have to do it their way and don't take into account other people's ideas or feeling?

Regarding Intimate relationships:
Are you as close as you imagined your relationship could or should be?
Can you share whatever you want or need to without fear of criticism or ridicule?
Are you confused when your partner's expressions of love and actions of love don't match?
Do you have conflicts over money, discipline, or even how to have fun together?
Can you ever know all there is to know about relationships?

There are 2 parts to the relationship workshops: True Colors(R) and Love Languages(C)

At the True Color(R): Personality Types , you will learn...
why some people value responsibilty, commitment and punctuality while others enjoy spontaneity, flexibilty and freedom.
why some need nurturing and affection while other people display logic and reserved emotions.
why someone needs fun, variety and excitement while others are sensible, practical and dutiful.
why some people are naturally sympathetic and giving while others are analytical and perfectionist.

With understanding comes connection
and with connection comes love and appreciation.

At the Love Languages(C) workshop you will learn...
why some treasure even the smallest gift or gesture, while others seem to be indifferent or even disrespectful toward such gifts or gestures.
why some children are "clingy" and in need of touch while others display little desire for the same, or even avoid touch.
why someone needs constant praise and reassurance and yet
others have difficulty giving compliments or are thought of as insensitive and uncaring.
why someone feels loved by doing things together, yet others feel overwhelmed, or resist too much together time.

The only genuine love worthy of a name is unconditional.
