I’m so excited to announce the launch of our fall Premarital Interpersonal Choices & Knowledge (PICK) group!
This group will be specifically for women who’ve been through a divorce and who would like a practical guide for building and establishing healthy and fulfilling long-term relationships. Dating after divorce can feel overwhelming and scary. Is the dating world different than it was before my marriage? Can I trust my judgment in choosing a partner? How do I build trust with someone new when I’ve been betrayed in the past? The unique challenges of re-entering the dating world after ending a marriage can feel isolating, and sometimes even tempt us to completely shut our hearts off from finding a lasting love, even if that’s something we really desire. In this group, you’ll be surrounded by women who have been through similar experiences and can relate to some of these same feelings. We can learn from each other, as well as from the research that has shown what a dating partner will be like in marriage, and how to pace the development of a relationship in a way that is fulfilling, while lessening your risk of future heartbreak.
In our 5-week educational group, we’ll use the Relationship Attachment Model to discuss the relationship dynamics that contribute to feelings of love and closeness, and portray healthy and unhealthy relationships. We’ll discuss specific qualities to look at in your dating relationship that will predict what your partner will be like in marriage. We’ll also talk about how to safely pace the development of trust and reliance with your partner.
The group will be held on five consecutive Tuesday evenings, from 6:30-8:30pm, at the office of Abundant Life Counseling St. Louis: 1034 S. Brentwood Blvd., Suite 555, Richmond Heights, MO 63117. The group dates are: 9/3, 9/10, 9/17, 9/24, and 10/1.
