Learn how to turn “conflict into connection”

What is Relationship Intelligence?

Relationship Intelligence (r.IQ for short) is the ability to get your needs met by learning the lessons that conflict has been trying to teach you. In moments of relational confusion and distress, r.IQ enables you to strengthen your relationships by knowing and practicing the tools that defuse conflict and promote connection, which leads to an enhanced sense of well-being and greater life satisfaction.

Take the r.IQ Challenge!

Perhaps you are struggling with feeling noticed or appreciated in one of your meaningful relationships. In life partnership, are you feeling unloved and disconnected? Do feelings of being disrespected and powerless in parenting show up too often? At work, are you feeling excluded and devalued? You may feel you don’t belong or matter enough as a family member. If any of these situations ring a bell, consider inquiring into the hidden power of “turning conflict into connection.” This is accomplished by signing up for a learning experience at the Relationship Intelligence Center by calling our office directly and inquiring about one-on-one relationship-focused sessions.

Experience fulfillment from your most important relationships.

Relationships bring us joy and inspiration at their best, expanding our lives and making us feel better. They bring us shame, guilt, and disappointment at their worst, contracting our lives and leaving us feeling inadequate, detached, and puzzled. The Relationship Intelligence (r.IQ) philosophy has been created to help you find balance in your life.

Of greatest importance, r.IQ applies across all relationships, including:

• Self

• Couples

• Parenting

• Family

At the Relationship Intelligence Center, we give you tools to navigate the complex and ambiguous connections between you and meaningful people in your life. Then, we provide you with space to practice what you’ve learned, monitor your growth, and provide key feedback to make your growth in the relational world successful.  

Therapeutic Partnership

Learn to transform conflict, loss, crisis, and trauma into growth.  

So much of what we've learned growing up impacts our sense of self, our view of the world, and our interaction with other people.  When things go well, it's easy to smile. However, when conflict arises, we reach deep into our learning history and do what we've always done. Some of us avoid conflict or get angry. Some get scared and freeze. Still, others run as fast as they can away from the heat of the moment.

Relationship Intelligence Workshops

Learn to prevent, defuse, and profit from conflict.  

Our Relationship Intelligence philosophy is designed to help people understand what causes conflict and how to deal with those tough times so we can better understand and get closer to each other. Becoming a part of the Relationship Intelligence family will teach you how to thrive in the face of adversity, setbacks, and losses. Sounds amazing, right?

The goals of learning Relationship Intelligence include:

1. Help you be safe during conflict

2. Reduce relational conflict

3. Teach you to deescalate behaviors and regain control

4. Help you and your significant other (life partner, child, family member, friend, or colleague) rapidly recover from conflict and move forward respectfully and skillfully

5. Finally, since conflict resolution may not always be possible, at r.IQ, we believe learning how to navigate, not resolve conflict, is more reality-based and a far superior life skill.

Let us turn your hardest day into your most amazing and productive experience.

Learn to untie the knots that exist in important relationships, so you can experience the fulfillment and satisfaction that arises naturally from feeling trusted, sharing the truth, sensing deeper commitment, and having lasting intimacy.
