Dismantling The Romance Myth. Fears of Engulfment and Abandonment.
Presented By Dean Spade
The Romance is a Myth Webinar Series looks at how common ideas about romance make us treat each other and ourselves badly and disrupt our movements. In each webinar, we explore common traps and skills for relating with each other in ways that better align with our values and build vibrant connections.
In the fourth webinar of this series, we'll look at two common fears that get activated in relationships--fear of engulfment and fear of abandonment--and how, when we act them out, they can get in the way of connection. We'll explore how to prepare for these fears to come up and what can help us be good to each other when they do.
This webinar will have simultaneous Spanish and ASL interpretation and live transcription.
Again, this is the fourth installment of the Romance is a Myth Series! Please check out the previous three Romance is a Myth webinars
