Avoiding Capture THE BOOK

"Feelings, when acknowledged, support vulnerability and a sense of weakness. It is imperative to honor and encourage this vulnerability in an intimate and meaningful relationship."


Our program:

• Reflects Mr. Oshman's understanding of how people in relationships learn and change and how often they fail to change, despite the best of intentions.

• Sticks to essentials - the learning, application and practice of key relationship skills, plus the positive attitudes that build success.

• Is flexible - comes in individual, couple and group formats and allows for different budgets and time constraints.

• Is specifically geared for people who are not content with understanding their problems but are committed to changing themselves.

If counseling hasn't worked for you

If you have had unhappy experiences with marriage or couples counseling and despair of finding professional help that brings results, you will find our relationship coaching program a welcome change. In our program:

• You won't endlessly discuss your problem or complain about your partner, while basically changing nothing. Ours is a practical, action program. You will be working toward positive change from the beginning.

• If you are doing couples coaching, you won't end up with fewer problems but the same limited relationship. As your skills increase, you will naturally reach for a richer, more satisfying relationship. Coaching will help you and your partner envision that relationship and develop a plan for achieving it.

• In our program, you are not limited to one form of coaching. You might begin with individual coaching, later change to a coaching support group, then have sessions of couples coaching, when your partner decides to join you.

• Our program gives you the option of telephone coaching. With telephone coaching, you aren't limited to professional help that is accessible from your home.

Coaching BEFORE Entering a Relationship

There is SO MUCH to learn about yourself BEFORE entering a relationship. With this program, you will have an opportunity to finally learn what YOUR values, standards, and needs are. This gives you a wonderful starting point to develop a truly intimate relationship with another person.

Coaching ONE PARTNER for Couples Success

Often only ONE member of a couple is willing and/or able to benefit from coaching support. No problem! As long as ONE partner gets support and assistance, there is a good chance that the relationship itself will improve. Joy and enthusiasm IS contagious!

Coaching AFTER Ending a Relationship

Many people don't realize that ending a relationship is very traumatic, and requires some very real and significant readjustment. Yes, there is often a feeling of relief when an apparently stale or shallow relationship is terminated. But, this is often followed by sense of loss, loneliness, anger, depression, confusion, and a fear of re-entering another relationship.
