MOTHERS!

Many adults carry tension, resentment, guilt and a longing for their relationship with their mother to be different.   You might struggle with the experience of  being unheard, criticised, controlled, emotionally distant—or stuck replaying the same arguments or silence. Even when there’s love, conversations can quickly slide into defensiveness, shutdown, or old childhood roles.

The day before Mothers day (UK),  this one-day Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training offers a compassionate, practical space to explore what’s really going on beneath those patterns. You’ll learn how to understand your own needs, express yourself clearly without blame, and listen without losing yourself.   Through guided exercises and reflection, you will be invited into mourning and celebration of needs unmet & met.  From here there is more opportunity  to soften reactivity, and choose responses that align with the adult you are now.

If these issues go unaddressed, they often resurface again and again, affecting your emotional well being, other relationships, and even how you relate to yourself. This training is an invitation to interrupt that cycle and create more honesty, ease, and choice in one of the most influential relationships of your life.

Please note!  This is not a magic pill session!  It is a small way of making changes!  If there is interest we can create a longer program.  As with all  change and shift – it requires practice and maintenance!
