Relationships

​Hi from Deb,
A busy month as we visited Sydney to see our son off for a 7-month deployment and a working cruise, which was a little rough with cyclone oma.
My husband and I have been very busy and are super excited to offer the certified relationship course in Bundaberg in March.

Relationships come in many forms, first relationship is the one you are having with yourself.
All the others intertwine in between.
We learn about relationships very early on from the bond we share with our caregivers and through life experiences, some are great tools and serve us well others are habits that we are using that are not serving us well. But how do we know which are which?
Often others will try to enlighten us of these habits but because we have learned these and believe them to be true, we defend ourselves as we feel attacked.
Conversing in relationships can be a wild ride at times.
But with the right tools the journey can be easier to navigate.
Always use the words I feel..
Because you are entitled to your feelings and to express how you feel.
Those who want to work with you will listen to how you feel and try to work with you to find a solution.
It can be very easy to fall into the blame trap when expressing how you feel and how you are impacted by an others actions.
Remember to start each line with
I feel
I feel unheard
I feel disrespected
I feel sad
I feel uncomfortable
I feel unvalued
I feel I need
List how you feel when the event was and what you would like to see happen.
e.g. I feel unheard when I am spoken over the top of, I would like to be able to finishing speaking..
 Have a great week
