How many times have you heard yourself or someone else say, 'I wish he'd change!' or, 'It's too hard to meet people – why bother trying?' These negative patterns are 'scripts', and we all follow them. They dictate our decisions and tell us how to act, and are so powerful that they can be the key to the success of failure of our relationships. In Rewrite Your Relationships! Eve and Rob will help you to:

  • overcome negative scripts and stop 'self-sabotage'
  • gain a positive mindset for meeting people
  • understand relationships and why they can go off the rails
  • recognise and resolve conflict patterns
  • bring fun and equality back into your relationship
  • survive a break-up, if it happens
  • develop and maintain healthy relationships for the long term
