The Relationship School® Presents:

Feel Accepted & Connected

By working through interpersonal conflict effectively and efficiently

2.5-day Intensive Workshop

Be the most resourced person during any upset or

conflict by learning the basics of how to communicate

during conflict and stress.

 

Be honest. You want to feel connected more than disconnected, right? You want to feel accepted more than judged. If that’s the case, it’s up to you to make that happen.

Stop tolerating people who don’t get you, understand you, and know you. It’s time to uplevel your relational life and it starts with the person in the mirror.

All you need are a few simple, yet powerful tools to learn how to be a badass during emotionally intense moments in relationships. We all want to belong and be accepted for who we are. So come make it happen!

 It’s Time To Discover The Number One Divorce & Breakup Prevention Skill

It’s shocking to me how many break ups and blow outs could be avoided if people learned one thing…

… CONFLICT.

My wife and I fought a lot during our first three years of our relationship. We had two very difficult and emotional break ups.

But then we found our way and learned that conflict is a doorway into deeper connection.

Not only that, we found that it’s good for our health.

When the stress between us is down and our connection is clear of triggers, we not only feel better, but we can accomplish so much more.

Plus, the brain research is clear…

If you cannot, and do not, learn to regulate your emotions, shut down or reactivity during or after an argument, disagreement or fight, you create major health problems for yourself later in life. In fact, the Gottman’s research shows that couples who understand how to navigate conflict live ten years longer than couples who don’t!

People who don’t figure this out, end up feeling alone and/or being alone.

Or check this quote out from the International Business Times:

“Exposure to frequent conflicts between parents can impair brain development in children and place them at a greater risk of several mental health issues, researchers reveal.”

 

It’s just true now.

It’s what a lot of psychologists thought, but now we have the facts.

Or how about this from Couples Attachment Expert Stan Tatkin:

Insecurity and insecure attachment negatively affect brain performance. Development can be slowed down because the brain is using most of its resources to manage being in survival mode instead of being free to move toward evolution, growth, and complexity.”

 

Yikes!

I wish there was a way to make conflict resolution a required part of the classroom in schools everywhere (this will happen soon, stay tuned). We’d thrive instead of survive…

But since it’s not being taught in schools and you never learned it at home, and because no couple can avoid conflict successfully over time, I invite you to learn with me, right here, right now.

Come to “Accepted & Connected” right now and learn the most vital skill that all successful couples understand:

Conflict.

If I had to choose only one skill, out of the countless I know, to help couples make it long term “how to fight well” is the one I’d choose.

In my two decades of experience with families and couples, this was the missing skill I observed every single time because it’s what had families and parents dragging their kids into forced treatment where I worked back in the day. The unwillingness or inability to do conflict well was the determining failure factor of every single family I knew. Above addiction, above mental illness, and far above anything else.

Later on in my career, same thing… The inability or unwillingness to do conflict was the only reason individuals and couples came in to see me when I was a licensed psychotherapist for almost ten years.

So…

  • Don’t be a couple who is crippled when it comes to having a thriving partnership.
  • Don’t be an individual who is unprepared when you get in your next relationship.
  • Don’t let your inability or unwillingness ruin your future awesome partnership.
  • Don’t let your fight/flight/freeze response drive your partner away…

You can do this.

Embracing conflict will make you a stronger and more confident person and couple.
Learning how to fight well and deal with your inevitable upset will change your life.

You will be sought out by friends, family members, and co-workers as they flail along in disagreements and distance. You will be THE person that can stop drop and deal.

Or, do you want to put this off until you are in a relationship crisis again?

If you want to go for it, I applaud your efforts for making it this far in your life and this far to reach this page. It means you are pretty damn serious about learning this one for good.

Because this is like riding a bike…

… once you get it, you’ve got it for the rest of your life.

And, since the bumps in the road will always be there in your interpersonal relationships, you can rest assured knowing you have the power-tools to deal with any challenge that comes into your relationship life.

This event goes beyond arguments and deals with the heart of our unrest with the tension between you and others.

If you want to not only learn how to achieve a win-win resolution all the time, but also how to be a resilient warrior when you have ANY interpersonal challenge with family, friends or co-workers, then this Virtual Intensive training holds the keys to your new kingdom and to a much more empowered future.

See you in there!

 

Big respect,
Jayson

WHEN

November 2021

Regardless of where you are at in a relationship and how good you think you are, there’s always more to learn. We never stop growing. It’s not just for couples. For me it’s for my clients, it’s for my family, my kids, my real friends, and for my new relationship starting.

Ginny

It’s not only about our partnership and our intimate relationship, but for me just as an individual I feel like I learned a lot, and I feel like I will be able to apply these skills with my friends, with my family, and even at work, and so it really affects my whole life and not just my intimate partnership. 
Sarah and Eric

I feel like I have a deeper understanding of my partner, more tolerance of the patterns that she’s going through and appreciation of the work that she’s doing to get through it, and I feel hope that things will get better in all of my personal relationships.
Vishay N.

After these few days, I’m feeling like I have tools that I can use to work on advocating, speaking up, inserting myself, just becoming more fully self-expressed in conflict. It’s definitely something I need to work on.

 This Event IS For You if You Are:

Single

With this class you are not only more attractive to your future mate, you are able and willing to handle any challenge that comes your way. So come prepare yourself for the dream relationship.

Dating

You’re not yet married, and may never be, but you get that arguing well is crucial to your relationship success and fulfillment, no matter how long you stay with this person.

Married

You completely understand by now that if you want to go the distance, you MUST get in the driver’s seat of your reactivity or your marriage won’t last, period. Get the win-win program down for life.

This Event Is NOT For You if You Are A:

Blamer

We all blame, but if you feel attached to your partner being “wrong” then I can’t help you. If you are open to seeing your part, and working on it, then we’re in business.

Complainer

If you struggle like the rest of us in partnership, no problem. But if you complain and whine about it, without finding the very best solutions to help you take full responsibility, we won’t get along very well.

Band-Aid Seeker

If you want the pain to just magically disappear, or you want someone to make it all go away with no effort on your part, I can’t help. But if you want to “earn” a great relationship, let’s do this.

Plus, you’ll get added support and challenge during this event from our certified relationship coaches.

These coaches are trained in our proprietary coaching method Present Centered Relationship Coaching™ and will assist you throughout the event.

About Jayson Gaddis

Jayson Gaddis, relationship student & teacher, host of the The Relationship School Podcast, and founder of The Relationship School® is on a mission to teach people the one class they didn’t get in school–”How to do romantic relationships.” He was emotionally constipated for years before relationship failure forced him to turn his life over to learning about relationships. Now, he’s married to his amazing wife since 2007 and has two beautiful kids. When he doesn’t live and breathe this stuff with his family, he pretty much gets his ass handed to him.

*Mountain Time [/et_pb_fancylist]

I would recommend this workshop to others, especially if you come in with a willingness to look at what is not working in your relationships and what is your part in that. You may feel like it’s the other person, a little more than you, just stay open to seeing how you’re contributing to the nonfunctioning part of the relationship.

I have been learning so many tools to be a better communicator, a better partner, and [a] more vulnerable [individual].
Daniel Rosa

I am looking forward to going back home and to practice [these tools] with my partner. This is a new romantic relationship and I feel very excited about building a solid foundation between us.
Ana Ruiz

It’s incredible, and it’s transformative. I’ve been to therapy and workshops for the last 16 years, and nothing has really compared to Jayson’s method. The way he works with groups, it’s just so intensive, and it’s really powerful, and I think it could be really valuable to anybody that would be interested in bettering themselves or bettering their relationship.
Steve Robinson

I definitely would recommend it to others, and I would recommend people to push their edge and bring their partner. For me, I feel like that has really impacted the partnership more so than just me coming alone. So come with your live shit that’s happening and just be open to getting some new tools. Show up, basically. Just do it.
