Course Curriculum
Module 1 — Topics of Contention

Every couple has recurring “hot spots” — the issues that always lead to tension. In this module, you'll uncover why certain topics trigger strong emotional reactions and learn how to approach them without fear, conflict, or defensiveness.

Module 2 — Communication Breakdowns

Misunderstandings happen not because couples don’t talk, but because they talk past each other. Here, you’ll identify where communication collapses and learn strategies to rebuild clarity and connection, even in difficult dialogue.

Module 3 — Harmful Words & Painful Phrases

Words can heal, but they can also wound. This module helps you recognize the language that damages trust and emotional safety — and gives you tools to replace it with healthy, respectful communication.

Module 4 — Sarcasm

Sarcasm often hides hurt, anger, or unmet needs. Learn why sarcastic communication erodes intimacy and discover how to express difficult emotions without using humor as a weapon.

Module 5 — Criticism

Criticism is one of the fastest ways to create emotional disconnect. This module teaches you how to shift from blame to vulnerability, and how to express needs without attacking your partner.

Module 6 — Defensiveness

Defensiveness blocks understanding and escalates conflict. Here, you’ll learn to stay open, self-aware, and grounded — even when you feel misunderstood, blamed, or overwhelmed.

Module 7 — Teasing

Teasing can be playful, but it can also be painful. This module helps you understand when teasing crosses emotional boundaries and how to rebuild safety and sensitivity in your interactions.

Module 8 — Debate

Some couples fall into debate mode instead of connection mode. Learn how to shift from “winning the argument” to “understanding each other,” and turn conflict into teamwork rather than competition.

Module 9 — Disengagement, Avoidance, or Stonewalling

When one partner shuts down, the entire relationship suffers. This module explores why stonewalling happens and gives you tools to stay present, emotionally engaged, and connected — even during hard conversations.

Module 10 — End Communication Chaos

In this final module, you’ll learn how to create structure, boundaries, and emotional clarity in every conversation. Say goodbye to spirals, interruptions, and confusion — and hello to calm, productive, loving communication.

Stories of Healing & Growth

A few words from the people who’ve trusted me to guide them toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I never believed I could trust again. After working with Gina Guddat I regained my confidence, and self-esteem. She helped me with my dating profile and coached me on finding a new life partner. I can now report that I’m happily remarried to a wonderful man!

Kerry Parker

Gina has been there for me through severe anxiety as I was leaving an abusive marriage. She has maintained professionalism while providing a warm and personable setting. I look forward to sessions with her, always gaining insight and knowledge.

Jess Langley

I came to Gina seeking clarity in my roles—daughter, mother, wife, student. Instead, I discovered the most vital one: my relationship with myself. Strengthening it became the foundation for my well-being and all other roles in my life.

Tina Johnson

With Gina’s help I am now able to express my feelings in a healthy way and receive much needed feedback from my wife. I would definitely recommend Ms. Guddat to any couple that needs help repairing their relationship.

Travis Smitt

My husband and I are in love again! After a therapeutic separation that Gina supervised, we were able to press the reset button and begin our relationship in a more loving and healthy way.
