CREATING GREEN ZONE RELATIONSHIPS

Like individuals, relationships also have a personality, character and lifestyle. As well, intimate relationships have a life cycle of their own. They are born, they grow and they die, either by separation, divorce or death. I encourage people to assess the quality of their relationships and discover the Zone in which each of them is living.

Healthy relationships thrive in the Green Zone and have Green Zone communication styles. In such relationships people feel free to spontaneously express their affection and are able to resolve their conflicts.

Unhealthy relationships live in the Yellow and Red Zones. In such relationships people feel inhibited and tense. Seldom is there a free flow of feelings and the differences turn into conflicts. In such relationships, resolving the problems becomes very difficult and in many cases people need a mediator or a therapist to assist them to find their way.
