"TRANSFORMATION -
The poison is the remedy.  Through our work with the first argument, we learn that the very thing we dread and avoid - the root of our conflict - is also the source of our healing."
-Excerpt from
The First Argument

The First Argument C.E.U. course is a 1-day, 6-hour class for 6 C.E.U. units. The class is based on Sharon M. Rivkin's book, The First Argument.

The First Argument C.E.U. course focuses on taking a couple's first argument out of its negative framework, using it as a point of entry into a deeper more intimate relationship for the couple.

The course shows how this technique is effective with parents and children, friends,  and co-workers. In the course, we examine the first argument for information about hooks, repetitive patterns, and ultimately a technique for change.

Using Sharon's book, The First Argument, participants come away from the course with new insights and techniques to use for themselves and others.
