YOU CAN EXPECT THIS APPROACH TO BE NOTHING LIKE TRADITIONAL COUPLES OR MARRIAGE COUNSELING!
The approach taken with couples is very unique in that it is patterned after Ray and Jean Kadkhodaian's belief that relationships are only as strong as its parts. Likewise, the couples coaching is conducted personally by Ray & Jean Kadkhodaian , since they believe that it takes a couple to help couples. Their belief that each individual must acknowledge the "piece" that they bring to the relationship before strategizing a plan and taking action, has led them to develop a unique and powerful training model, The CS Method (The Couples Synergy Method).
The CS Method
The CS Method was designed to create the building blocks necessary for establishing Good Boundaries-Great Relationships, building blocks such as empowerment, assertiveness, self-responsibility, self-awareness, personal development and intention. This Method increases an individual's awareness of their own wants, needs and desires, and then instructs them in ways to ensure their needs are met as well as how to safely and respectfully communicate with their partner.
3 Phased Approach
With couples the CS Method is applied in 3 Phases. Each phase is designed to strengthen each individual within the relationship as well as the relationship as a whole. Thus, the following format applies to marital coaching clients:
Phase 1 - Involves separate work for each individual in the relationship. Typically Ray coaches one individual, while Jean coaches the other individual separately. This allows each person to have their own supportive coach in place. The goal is always to respect the individual as well as the relationship. As individuals they learn what behavior styles and expectations they brought into the relationship. They also learn where their power is to take responsibility and create change.
Phase 2 - Involves joint sessions together (each individual and each coach) to identify and create goals for the relationship and a common vision.
Phase 3 - Involves applying the CS-Method to the relationship as a whole creating the action steps needed and setting up accountability to ensure success.
