How to Develop the Habit of Deeper, More Authentic Connection With Your Partner

Empathic women are particularly sensitive to relationships in that they tend to be highly emotionally-oriented and often live primarily through their “feeling” senses. These gifts are not recognized within a culture that is performance-oriented, and very driven.

  “The roots of resilience….are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned and self-possessed other.” Diana Fosha, PhD, developer of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy).

Highly sensitive women have immense talents and gifts to share, but their confidence can erode when their specific ways of being in the world, strengths and gifts are not acknowledged, supported and understood.

Approaches to improvement and healing which focus on changing your communication alone often fail because they don’t address the different ways each partner might seek connection.

I’m passionate about helping women use their whole selves to reconnect in their relationships so that they don’t feel compromised, they can give generously, all while feeling supported.  

In this 12-week program

you'll discover how to:

• No longer feel that you're lost in the relationship
• Connect with your own inner compass, regain a sense of self and your self-confidence
• Feel closer to your partner after an argument instead of further apart
• Be with your partner in a more happy, tender, intimate and mutually supportive relationship

Just imagine that your life and relationship have changed. The experience of feeling stuck, alone and hopeless is now behind you.

A difficult relationship is taxing, and can drain the life right out of you. 

Think about it. The quality of your significant relationship(s) impacts your whole life: your health, your confidence, your  finances, personal happiness, your family. Your stress levels go through the roof.

With a healthy and happy relationship, you can feel less burdened and more supported, and you will likely have much more energy to focus on your projects, your career, your children and yourself.  

Some of the benefits that often come with healthier relationships are: 

• A happier family and children
• Less stress and better health
• Feeling more fulfilled and on purpose
• Healthier finances

What’s included:

• 12 weeks of teaching modules. These include video lessons and worksheets, tools and practice videos and audios to help you anchor in the changes. 
• 12 group coaching calls where you can ask questions and get targeted personal feedback on your situation. 
• A safe and non-judgmental community of  like-minded women, who will support you on your journey towards healing. 

PROGRAM CURRICULUM

Pillar 1: Learn to Recognize Your Power 

This is where you learn to know where you are empowered and have agency and where you don’t. It all starts with learning to honour and love yourself. In practicing self-compassion and receiving feedback from the group, you’ll naturally begin to approach your relationship from a more empowered stance. 

Pillar 2: Nervous System Healing

We’ll talk about what happens in your nervous system when you feel unsafe, unheard, disconnected, or when your wounds are triggered. You’ll learn practices that you can use every day so that you can start to heal the imprint left on the nervous system. 

Pillar 3: Pinpoint Your Relational Dance and Turn Bad Patterns Around

The way you engage in your relationship, day in and day out, is based on long-established habits and patterns, actions, reactions, triggers and hurts. We’ll be diving deep to understand your particular relational dance and how you can start to initiate change in a fun and dynamic way (without feeling it’s always up to you). 

Pillar 4: Heal the Core Relationship Wounds

Now, we’re ready to dive even deeper into understanding and healing some of the deeper relationship wounds (from your current relationship, past relationships or perhaps even from your family of origin).

Pillar 5: Relationship Practices that Invite Change: Invite your partner to step up and re-ignite the connection

We’ll be learning (and role-playing) specific relationship skills that you can start implementing right away that will invite your partner to respond differently (in a more fun and positive way) to you. 

Pillar 6: Writing your new story 

Now that you’ve been on this journey of transformation, you’re going to review your initial story (the one you sought to transform) and you’re going to write your new story. The surprises and delight that comes from this experience is always incredible to witness!

BONUS Workshop with Terrie Silverman - Writing the Story that you Want to Transform. 

Throughout this course you’ll be transforming your fundamental story, the story you tell yourself about yourself about the world and about you and your partner. With Terrie’s support and guidance, you will write your origin story and share with the group. By the end of the program, you will have the opportunity to re-write that story.

I appreciated Gabrielle’s warmth, intelligence, stillness and feminine power."  

“I loved Gabrielle’s vision that it’s possible for me to live in a way that is truly connected to who I am and to my true purpose. Because she has connected with her own purpose she is able to inspire and guide people in the direction of finding their own. I appreciated Gabrielle’s warmth, intelligence, stillness and feminine power. The depth of caring and her ability to allow me to be my entire self in our time together permitted me to feel safe when releasing some powerful emotions and to be witnessed in those feelings. This was a powerful experience.” Sarah Elliot

Gabrielle Taylor, MA, Psychotherapist/Relational Life Therapy Expert 

Hi there, I’m Gabrielle and if you’re an empath struggling in your relationship, I’m pleased to be able to help. 

As a Psychotherapist and Relationship Expert, I’ve been helping couples (over the last 15 years) to navigate challenges, to cultivate closeness and connection, and to repair the rifts and ruptures that inevitably arise in their relationships. An empath myself, I draw upon my own experience, as well as evidence-based research and in-depth training to help you get to the other side of feeling stuck, alone and frustrated, so that you can once again experience intimacy, tenderness and build true partnership and love in your relationship. 

As a young adult, I trained as an artist and thought that would be my path in my life. As things unfolded, life took me in a different direction. However, my passion for art continues to be a central part of my life and I incorporate creative arts into my healing work with clients.  

Is the investment for these 12 weeks to work on making significant changes in your relationship, worth it?

Compare this to:

• 12 weeks (or years) of intensive therapy
• Trying course after course, strategy after strategy that don’t work and leave you feeling more and more hopeless
• 12 weeks of doing nothing

 The investment is a drop in the bucket to get the results of a happy relationship.

Leaving your relationship in a bad way can lead to divorce, lots of suffering, your children's suffering and unhappiness, the erosion of your relationship and love.

Leaving the problem without attending to it, costs money, your precious life, and things only get worse with time. 

Guarantee

There cannot be reward without risk. I’ve witnessed, time and again, when my clients commit and show up to create positive change in their lives and relationships, they see results. 

I stand behind my work and my programs. When you enroll, take all the action steps presented over the course of the program, show up for the calls and implement the strategies I teach – and for some reason it isn’t working for you – I invite you to reach out to me. I will schedule a one on one call, at no extra charge, to orient you in a direction that supports you.

You need not suffer alone or in silence. 

Don't underestimate the power of a group of supportive women in a guided and focused program. With the support of a community, you will discover new strengths within yourself and you will advance towards your goal of healing and transforming your relationship in leaps and bounds.
