Relationship
Mastery
Eight live weeks with Jordan Marks, LMFT. A trigger is the activation of a coping mechanism — an old story running the present. We learn to see it, trace it, and stay in the truth anyway. Bring one relationship: a partner, a parent, a boss, a friend, yourself.
Live
Eight 90-minute sessions on Zoom. Teaching, then experiential, then Q&A.
Practice
Breakout rooms, dyads, and one piece of written homework a week.
Container
A room of 24. Confidential, period. Not therapy — education, taught by a clinician.
One practice a week, in the order it actually works.
Each week stands alone and each week builds. The full classwork for every week — what we cover, the in-session practice, the written homework, and the question to sit with — is inside the course for enrolled members.
Before it's an argument, it's a signal in the body. A trigger is the activation of a coping mechanism — an old story running the present. We learn to see it, trace it, and stay in the truth anyway.
Different dishes, same fight. We map the pattern underneath the argument and find where it learned to run — usually long before this relationship existed.
Fight, flight, freeze and fawn are relational, not personal. This week is practices that let you stay present under pressure instead of leaving the room without moving.
Your truth isn't integrated until you can hold it in front of someone else. Three frameworks for hard conversations, including the one I use most often in session.
Grieve the relationship you imagined so you can be present to the one you have. Quiet work, and for most people the most freeing week of the eight.
Desire, closeness, and the honesty to ask. Why closeness sometimes dulls desire, and how to bring both back into the same room.
Where control has been doing the work love should be doing. Rupture is inevitable; repair is a skill, and this week we build it.
Integration. We build your practice plan for the year ahead and the question you return to every quarter.

The honest answers.
Does it have to be a romantic relationship?+
No. Each week you choose one relationship to focus on — a partner, a boss, a friend, a parent, a child. You can stay with one for all eight weeks or change it each week. Ultimately this is about how you are in relationship to yourself, so you can't do it wrong.
Do I need to attend with a partner?+
No. A good portion of every cohort attends alone, and one person changing the choreography changes the dance.
What if I miss a session?+
Sessions are recorded and posted within 24 hours, and you keep lifetime access. Pair the replay with that week's homework and you're caught up.
Is this therapy?+
No. This is education and practice, taught by a clinician. It pairs well with therapy and doesn't replace it — if you need outside support or a referral, ask and I'll help you find it.
Is what I share confidential?+
Yes, period. Recordings are for my own reflection and for the book I'm writing; if any is used publicly, only my voice appears.
