Curtain Up Anxiety Down

Many people experience anxiety and insecurity in social situations, and these days this problem is on the increase. Often, it is directly connected to feelings of depression and uncertainty, which can make it difficult to interact confidently with others. But all is not lost: Murray Dabby now offers the course Curtain Up! Anxiety Down! This unique approach to overcoming social anxiety uses the performance art of improvisation. Improv promotes spontaneous “play” with others in ways that are fun, intimate and quickly transformative. Murray’s classes combine therapeutic improvisation with group conversation to help participants fully understand the practical applications of the improv experience.

This class meets in person.

Graduate Circle

The Couples College Graduate Circle is open to all graduates of our five-month and ten-month courses. It’s designed to help couples continue the good work they started in the regular course, with the support of other dedicated couples.

The Graduate Circle helps couples sustain the skills they gained in our primary course. We build on this foundation to help you break out of the cycles of disfunction that keep so many couples stuck in neutral. Our Circle groups are often playful, emotional and enriching in ways that even close friendships don’t experience.

The Graduate Circle consists of two groups that meet five times a year, every other month, starting in October. While not a huge time commitment, we consider these ongoing group sessions to be among the best methods available for couples to continue working on the issues that challenge their partnership.

Each Circle is limited to seven couples in order to foster a smaller, more intimate experience. Those who join tell us they appreciate being part of a community of like-minded couples also seeking to continue strengthening and healing their relationship.

Group Guidelines

1. Please show up on time. This creates respect for the leaders and other couples in the group. It is an expression of maturity and leadership. If you find that difficult, please discuss with the group leaders so we may help. Your participation represents a commitment to the curriculum and the process to build a successful partnership.
2. Please make every effort to protect the meeting times for the course. It is important in order to respect your intention to improve your partnership and to keep family or business obligations from interfering with that intention.
3. Confidentiality/Boundaries. This is a confidential group. What people share in the group is not to be shared with others. We encourage you to share your experiences with other, however if you want to talk to a partner or friend, talk about your personal experience. Do not share what happened to other members.
4. If you are struggling with some aspect of the group, it is essential to let one of the leaders know immediately. It is important to discuss what is happening to work toward a resolvable solution.
5. You are responsible for the full balance of the class. If you miss a session you are responsible for payment. Exceptions to this are when we have made a special arrangement with you.
6. Tips about getting the most out of group:

• Participate actively you’ll find out more about yourself if you’re involved. Experiment with new forms of behavior. Until you begin to act differently, you won’t change. Take risks ... this is structured to be safe and supportive
• If you need to express a conflict with someone in the group, do use language that comes from your feelings or experience. Avoid hurtful or attacking language. It’s o.k. to disagree, but not to be disrespectful.
• You can also come to one of the leaders privately if you need help with an issue or person in the group and we can talk about the best way to handle it.
• Accept responsibility for your own experience. Allow your partner and others couples in the group to be responsible for theirs.
• Learn to listen... if you are formulating your thought while someone is talking you are not really hearing what is being said
• Be spontaneous... often we wait our turn to speak, try to be polite, or think about what we want to say for so long the moment passes.

FINAL NOTE: If you are going to miss a session please notify us at least 24 hours before group. If you are running late, call one of our cell phones before group begins to let us know. If you are in an emergency situation please try to call our cell and let us know what is happening.
