This is webinar is the result of having entirely too much to say in my last webinar. In Part 1 of this webinar, I explained how the real problem in most relationships is actually not what people think it is. It's rarely the actual content of a conflict that is causing distress. No, it is instead the process of how two people are interacting — in other words, the dynamic between them.

Dysfunctional relational dynamics are most often the result of a combination of deficits and defenses at work in both people. As I explained in Part 1, deficits refer to specific cognitive or socio-emotional capacities that are impaired, while defenses are strategies to avoid anxiety. Both of these phenomena are typically nonconscious and, when activated, cause us to turn to all sorts of regressive patterns of believing, thinking, feeling, and acting.

In Part 2 of Transforming Relational Dynamics, I will give practical strategies for discovering your deficits and defenses and using that awareness to interrupt those old cycles of conflict with new choices that bring about powerful transformation within you individually and within your relationship. 

I hope you'll join me. I can hardly wait!
