Relationship Coaching
What most of the men I work with don’t “get” is that their
relationship job description has changed. ..The refrain I hear over
and over again from dissatisfied women is “I don’t feel like I have
a real partner.” A partner who shares in the details of domestic life
and in her concerns about the kids. An intellectual partner who
cares about what she thinks and supports her development. And
most of all, an emotional partner who shows interest in and
appreciation for her feelings and who has a few feelings of his
own.

The New Rules of Marriage: What You Need to Know to Make
Love Work
Our approach to relationship coaching is based on the work of best-selling author and family
therapist Terrence Real. We believe that the reason so many men and women struggle in their
relationships today is that in the last thirty years women have radically changed and many men have
not.

Terrence Real coined the term “Relational Recovery” to define the healing process that must take
place in our relationships.

    Relational Recovery provides men and women the insight and tools to recover the state of
    wholeness and connectedness that is each person's birthright. Each individual comes onto
    this planet innately wired for authenticity and closeness. The voices of girls and the hearts of
    boys are damaged from the traditional roles of manhood and womanhood. We live in an anti-
    relational, vulnerability-averse culture. Our aim is to help each person move beyond
    traditional gender scripts so that women reclaim power and men reclaim openheartedness.

Many traditional therapists and coaches do not address the historical divide between the sexes.  At
Growing Together we show you a new approach to relationships and teach a practical set of skills.
We give women the tools of relational empowerment and men the tools of relational reawakening.
Women need support to be lovingly assertive and men to open up and show up. We believe that
women learn these skills best from other women who model them and, likewise, men learn best
from other men. That’s why we offer a
Men’s Group and a Women’s Group. Individual and couples
coaching complements the experience of the groups.
