Transforming Interpersonal Relationships
When we set out to make meaningful changes in our lives, one of the first areas we must examine is the people, places, and things that shape our current way of living. Our relationships, whether close and intimate or casual and passing, play a powerful role in the direction we move toward. Taking an honest look at these connections helps us establish, and eventually solidify, the path to Living the Life We Want to Live.
This is not always an easy process. It can feel both challenging and deeply rewarding. At its core, it involves learning how to build healthier relationships that are grounded in our own values and beliefs, rather than in old coping mechanisms or unhealthy patterns. From this perspective, every interpersonal connection you have counts as a relationship. It may be the bond you share with a spouse or partner, the interactions with coworkers, the closeness of family ties, the support of friends, or even a simple daily greeting with a neighbour or passerby. Each one of these connections is an opportunity to practice self-respect and relational integrity.
For many of us, especially those who have lived with addictive, compulsive, or obsessive behaviours, building healthy relationships is an area that requires intentional effort. Old patterns, whether it’s people-pleasing, shutting down, clinging, or pushing others away, often resurface in subtle ways. That is why creating a structured, supportive space to talk about relationships is so important.
Inside this weekly meeting space, I am joined by my co-host, Nadia H, as we explore what it really means to transform our interpersonal world. Together, we bring in the evidence-based principles of Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help participants reflect on their patterns, identify what needs to change, and practice new ways of relating.
Each meeting is an open conversation where participants are invited to share, reflect, and learn. The goal is not perfection, it is about creating awareness, building emotional endurance, and practicing relational skills that align with your values. Over time, these practices help replace unhealthy cycles with connections that are respectful, supportive, and authentic.
As with all Liberation Place meetings, participation is guided by a set of group norms that ensure safety, respect, and accountability. These norms are explained in a video linked HERE, and we ask that you take some time to watch it before attending your first session. This helps everyone arrive prepared and ready to engage meaningfully.
If you are ready to reimagine how you connect with others, strengthen your boundaries, and build relationships that support your growth, we invite you to join us for Transforming Interpersonal Relationships.
