I can’t rave enough about our time…we learned life-long skills that have already helped us…we connected on a deeper level and it got deep fast – especially because our coaches were so open with us about their lives which set the stage for all of us to be open. I loved how God also really connected us with the other couples – all the men had the same love language. All the women just understood each other. The other woman and I would just give each other a look that said “I understand, I got you” so many times.
Since, coming back home we have heard each other better, used the heart talk… feel more connected and safe. Of course, we only have the power to change ourselves and our reactions – and I realized many things and will continue to use the tools. I felt stuck, not being able to open up because I didn’t feel safe to do so. The heart talk really helped us understand the importance of how things are said and how feeling heard is huge. We also learned how to go deeper to the heart issues and cut off the negative reactions which lead to recognizing our emotional responses and triggers, which will help us stop the crazy cycle we were in.
I can write on and on and I have told many friends about the things I have learned, even used some as advice already.
So incredibly thankful for your ministry, for our coaches, for the people who prayed, for those who helped us to afford the cost. All glory to God – he used all of you in powerful ways and I am SO, SO thankful! We really needed this!
