About Courageous Loving
The problem
As humans we have one very powerful thing in common. We are created for connection with others. Basically, we all have a strong desire to be accepted and loved. However, we learn the relationships we need the most can be the most painful, and we become afraid of being hurt and abandoned. We all cope with these fears in different ways. Whatever our strategies are for coping, they almost never lead to more secure, intimate relationships. The further we get from having true intimacy and closeness the more distressed we become.
The solution
Recent advancements in the understanding of love have provided new hope in achieving healthy intimacy. New tools have been developed which are better at fostering closeness, and address not only the way we talk to each other, but how we feel about each other. “Courageous Loving,” is a program, which incorporates these principles into a series of three courses focusing on understanding and overcoming emotional fears that prevent intimacy and closeness.
