Better Communication Skills For Couples Through Cinematic Immersion - with Warren Farrell

How well do you handle criticism from a loved one? If you are anything like most of us, the answer is, not very well! Typically, the closer we are to a person the more fragile we feel when they offer us feedback. Which means that over time couples can feel like they are walking on eggshells, unable to communicate or express themselves honestly. And when we can’t open up to deeper intimacy, love fades. Add in the raising of children and money issues and couples can easily find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. Do they remain together, for convenience, for security, and to sake of the children, but live in a state of psychological divorce, or do they separate?

The biggest culprit in this dynamic is defensiveness. If couples could truly drop their defenses and actively listen and hear each other, perhaps they could come together again. But active listening is rarely used. Which is why Warren Farrell, PhD, developed Cinematic Immersion. Cinematic Immersion is a method that enables couples to actively listen to their partner without feeling defensive. As couples learn how to experience “criticism” as love, they simultaneously learn “the art and discipline of love” and how to deepen that love throughout the week.
