• Does your relationship feel like Mars and Venus in the communication department?
• Do conversations start out civil, become tense, and then go off the rails?
• Do you communicate well about most things, but hit a brick wall around hot button topics?

Then Clear, Clean & Connected is for you.

CCC will teach you and your partner communication skills you can take home and begin using immediately.

Topics include:

• How to use the Talking Format* Template for clear, clean & connected communication
• The whys & hows of effective couples time-outs
• The 2 magic words to use at the beginning of any response on a hot-button topic
• How to make effective requests
• How to repair broken agreements and boundary violations

Each CCC session includes information and instruction on the fundamentals of effective couples’ communication, followed by a practice session facilitated by Vicki where couples will utilize CCC skills. CCC is open to all couples in a committed partnership.

(Please note: CCC is not appropriate for couples who are currently in crisis.)

Although not required, it is highly recommended that each partner complete a family of origin intensive (Reclaiming Wholeness) either before joining CCC or while attending. Most people find that unresolved childhood trauma has a significant, negative impact on their ability to practice good couples communication and boundary work.

An individual pre-screening session is required for clients not currently in individual therapy with Vicki. Send an email to scheduled a pre-screening session.
