Fairfield County Youth "At Risk"?
Nancy, Sadock, MA, LMFT
 
I'll never forget what my pediatrician said to me after the birth of my first child. I can still picture myself as an anxious, inexperienced mom firing a barrage of questions at him as he quietly examined all 6 pounds 13 ounces of her. I wanted to know how to DO everything perfectly so she could have the perfect life. From umbilical cord care to sleeping positions, I did not give him a break! Finally, with more gentleness than exasperation, he stopped the examination, looked me straight in the eye and said, "Just take her home and give her all the love you can and she will be fine"! Ahhh...I calmed down and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Little did I understand the depth of the wisdom or the enormity of the task he just delivered.

Connection Course
Friday, November 6, 2015
9am - pm

The Connection Course is an educational and experiential one-day retreat that integrates a biblical worldview with the most empirically supported marriage model in the world, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Pioneered by Drs. Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg, and outlined in Dr. Johnson's latest work, Hold Me Tight, research studies have found that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and 90% show significant improvements through the use of Emotionally Focused Therapy.
