Shut Up & Stop Arguing - Anger Management For Couples Website & Los Angeles Workshop Shows How
Anger management and marriage counseling specialist Marc Sadoff, MSW, BCD says, "Don't we all wish we could get our partners to stop talking when we feel an argument is getting too hot and unproductive?" Sadoff says his home study workbook course and Los Angeles weekend seminar for couples who argue too much is like having a remote control that gets your partner to agree to 'zip their lip' and let you leave the room. He says his video simulation training methods are unorthodox yet simple and effective in getting couples to express and listen to angry feelings more constructively. He is confident enough about his simulation training weekend that he offers a money back guarantee for the cost of the weekend training or the workbooks.
(PRWEB) June 13, 2005 -- Relationship advice & anger management expert
Marc Sadoff, MSW, BCD, a Los Angeles based therapist featured in Time Magazine,
says the key to his program is the priority of the concept of 'ZIPPING THE LIP.'
His approach can be previewed at his RealHope.com website at www.RealHope.com/free_tips.php
A 31 page sample of the
seminar manual is also available for immediate download as a .pdf file at www.RealHope.com/media/realhopesample.pdf
Marc says
that he's drawn his methods from having worked for 19 years in doing anger
management treatment, eight years of doing couples workshops and from his
personal experience of 'passionate relationships.' He says, "I learned to become
less defensive and to listen all the way through my partner's description of her
experience, before I began explaining myself. When I saw the amazing results of
using these deceptively simple two and three step methods, I began to develop
how they could be taught in the most efficient manner to couples. I wanted to
give couples an effective set of tools to use before going to marriage
counseling and spending much more money."
The workshop manual, used for
the weekend training is available with a money back guarantee for couples who do
not live close to Los Angeles, at www.RealHope.com/home_study_course.php.
Sadoff says
that his methods are influenced and drawn from his training in facilitating the
PREP™ course. He says the research of PREP™ and Dr. John Gottman, recognized
experts in marriage counseling, has been very useful in developing his
program.
The most important agreement is the 'time out' agreement which
has only two rules. He says, "This is the one that gives either partner the
'remote control power' over your partner and gets them to 'zip their lips.' Many
people think they are taking a 'time out' but are forgetting the critical second
element which makes it work. I spend a full quarter of the workshop getting
couples to fully understand the 'Time Out' method because it's all about
stopping the arguing."
In fact, Sadoff says, "These agreements will
either help you make up... or break up." He adds, "The agreements become the
measuring stick to decide if there is any 'Real Hope' for the relationship to
improve. If real evidence of change does not occur then one or both partners may
need to get additional help individually. Or, it's time to either accept that
the relationship will not change significantly or to consider an
ending."
He goes on to say, "It's a form of 'toxic hope' to continue in a
disrespectful or very argumentative relationship when there is no real evidence
that it will change. My course helps assure that you will get the evidence, one
way or the other."
Sadoff said he wanted to create a strictly educational
workshop, seen at www.RealHope.com/workshop.php to simply teach the best methods
recognized by the professional community as being effective.
Video and
email testimonials by couples who have taken his weekend course have couples
saying what changes and insights occurred for them that help them know that they
have measurable REAL HOPE for their relationship.
The video testimonials
can be seen by broadband, cable and DSL users at www.RealHope.com/video_testimonials.php

"You insure you
house, your car and your life...why not insure that your relationship has the
best tools and chance for success? The workshop manual is based on research with
thousands of couples and is great Relationship Insurance." says the
therapist.
