How to Communicate in the Yellow Zone: A practical live webinar for couples
Hosted by Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Marriage & Family Therapist and seasoned couples counsellor, Vitali Rosen, M.Sc., RP, RMFT.
What zone is your relationship in right now?
The Green Zone
I believe that almost everyone is a good communicator in the green zone. It is something that is relatively simple and non-controversial. The two of you are pretty much in agreement. There is no way that this conversation is going to take you into the red zone. (Unless you have some strong feelings about milk.)
The Yellow Zone
A Yellow zone conversation is a different story, there is tension, maybe some resentment. This is not a green zone conversation by any stretch. It is Yellow. Why? Because if you’re both not careful it can take you into the Red at any moment.
The Red Zone
Both partners may escalate, and it becomes an argument or even a dog fight. Sometimes one partner lectures or nags while the other one is quiet. Both may shut down eventually – silent treatment or cold shoulder. How could this have been avoided?
Watch A Couple Communicate Through the Zones
Introduce yourself to concepts of The Yellow Zone and learn to recognize green, yellow, and red conversations.
As a psychotherapist with 17 years of experience in couples and marriage counselling, Yellow Zone communication is the most frequent problem I see in relationships.
More than 90% of the couples who end up sitting on my couch have this as a central underlying issue in their relationship.
After years of seeing the same pattern, I decided to create my webinar, “The Yellow Zone”, to help couples discover the power of intentional communication so they can learn how to cultivate a thriving relationship, even in challenging moments. “The Yellow Zone” covers all phases of the communication traffic light, from the stable green to high energy red.
