Words That Work: Transform Your Relationship With Communication Skills With Couples Therapist. Oliver Drakeford, LMFT, CGP.

Ever wonder why some conversations with your partner leave you feeling closer while others create distance?

The difference isn't just what you say - it's how you say it.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a decade of experience, I've developed this course by studying thousands of real conversations between couples.

What I've discovered is both surprising and hopeful: Small shifts in how we communicate can create profound changes in our relationships.

This isn't just another 'communication course.' Words That Work is a practical, science-backed journey that teaches you:

• The six hidden reasons we actually communicate (and why understanding them changes everything)
• How to decode your unique communication style (and work with, not against, your natural tendencies)
• The exact words and phrases that create emotional safety and a deeper connection
• Simple techniques to transform complaints into requests that actually get heard
• How to navigate difficult conversations without triggering defensiveness
• Exercises and activities to foster more connection.

What Makes Words That Work Different:

✓ No vague advice or clichés - you'll learn specific words, phrases, and techniques you can use immediately

✓ Based on real couples and honest conversations - not just theory

✓ Practical tools that work even when emotions are high

✓ Designed for both partners to succeed, regardless of communication style

✓ Structured to create lasting change, not just temporary fixes

 Who This Course Is For:

• Couples who feel stuck in the same communication patterns
• Partners who want to feel genuinely heard and understood
• Therapists who wish to new tools for their clients
• Relationships where one person is more talkative than the other
• Anyone who wants to transform their connections
• Couples who miss deeper emotional intimacy
