Dating with Intention: From Patterns to Possibility

Title of Event: Dating with Intention: From Patterns to Possibility

Description of Event:

What if dating wasn’t about finding the “right” person—or proving you’re the right person—but about discovering what becomes possible in authentic connection? This experiential workshop helps clinicians guide clients from relationships as a 
performance-based transaction, with rigid requirements and endless evaluation, toward genuine connection that fosters adaptability, curiosity, and authenticity. Participants will learn practical techniques to clarify the qualities, values, and characteristics clients bring to relationships and those they seek in a partner. Using themselves or a client as a case example, participants will practice the skills and leave with tools they can immediately bring into clinical work.
