As they say, February is the month of love. The fabricated month of love, that is. We all have different feelings about Valentine’s Day. Some of us love it, some of us hate it, and some of us have a love-hate relationship with it.

Congruence is what sets us up to experience more love and connection, and compassion is the mechanism for understanding what it is we need to live more congruent lives. In Congruence Coaching, we use both dialogue and compassion techniques to uncover incongruences in the client’s key three relationships, and to begin alleviating the suffering those incongruences have led to.
