Paar-Workshop: Verbindend streiten

In the organizer's words:

Recognize protective mechanisms, understand conflicts and strengthen closeness in the relationship.

Conflicts are part of every healthy relationship. And yet many couples experience the same dynamics again and again: Conversations go round in circles, misunderstandings harden, frustration grows. Withdrawal or escalation determine communication - until at some point the entire relationship is called into question.

What is missing is not the desire for understanding, but an understanding of what really happens emotionally in relationship conflicts. Unconscious protective mechanisms and old mechanisms influence how we react.

This face-to-face workshop for couples is less about communication techniques and more about recognizing conflict dynamics in the relationship, being able to perceive and classify your own protective mechanisms and better understand emotional reactions. This makes it possible to stay in touch and allow closeness again, even during arguments.

For couples who not only want to express themselves better, but also really understand each other.

This is what awaits you on the workshop day:

  • Explore conflict dynamics in the relationship:Recognize which conflict patterns you get into as a couple and why they repeat themselves. This awareness opens up new scope for action.

  • Understanding emotional triggers and protective mechanisms:Identify situations that trigger strong emotional reactions and understand which previous experiences or dislocations they relate to.

  • Take responsibility for your feelings: Learn to reflect on your own emotions and take responsibility without blaming your partner.

  • Perceive needs: Develop a clearer sense of your own needs and those of your partner.

  • Practicing presence and connection in conflict: Explore how you can remain present in moments of tension without withdrawing or attacking.

  • Turning conflict into closeness: Through differentiation, mindfulness and respectful communication
