Online: Holidays with Family – Skills for Difficult Conversations

Soon, many of us will have to (or choose to) sit and break bread with someone who disrespects us – or with whom we strongly disagree. Some of us will even be sitting with someone who’s abused us.

Join us to learn coping strategies and skills to get through — or maybe even enjoy — your family time.

You’ll learn:

• How to use assertiveness and boundary-setting to establish firm limits in a respectful way designed to avoid escalation.
• 5 options for dealing with stressful situations that give you choices and help you feel your personal power.
• 5 alternatives for managing a problematic dinner companion when you choose not to set limits.
• 3 de-escalation techniques you can use if needed.
