Communication Relationships and Sex
Group Therapy - a ten week programme.
This programme is for men and women who are single or in
dysfunctional relationships to meet and talk about communication
relationships and sex in a safe and confidential setting.
The group is for five men and five women and meets on Friday nights
6.30 – 8.30 at a central London location. The group process which is
therapeutic and psycho educational, but not therapy, is facilitated by me and another, Simon Jacobs.
We talk about communication relationships and sex in all its forms from a male and a female perspective. John Gray writes in his new Venus and Mars book published in February 2008 that ‘ a woman’s needs cannot be met one hundred percent by her partner'. He goes on to say ‘ that her male partner is only programmed to meet one tenth or ten percent of her needs.’ He says that ‘she needs to find the other ninety percent elsewhere' and is responsible for doing so.
The same applies to men. We are each responsible for getting our needs met. We also need to address expectations and hopes that our lives will be perfect when we have a partner in our lives. Or our lives will be perfect when we get married. I have worked with a number of people, men and women, who knew before they got married that the person they were marrying was the ‘wrong’ person. They still got married. What is that about?
Is that about ‘belonging’? As human beings were have a need to belong. In a relationship, in a family, in a community, in a city, in a country, in the world, so said Adler. Now that social structure is breaking down in terms of communities, families and to some extent the education system is there a greater pressure put on our intimate relationships? Are we loath to let them go even if they are dysfunctional and we know so?
We look at this and all sorts of other issues in the communication relationships and sex programme.
