After being raised by parents who didn’t communicate effectively, I found myself in the same situation. I was neer able to express myself in a way that led to effective resolution when I was angry or hurt or frustrated. IN addition to helping us understand all of the Gottman principles and what contributes to a successful relationship, Edina taught us critical communication strategies that have allowed me to actually share my feelings in a way that doesn’t alienate my partner. After 3 months of working with Edina, we were more connected with each other than we had been in a long time and I felt more loved, appreciated and understood by my partner.
