The interview

What was your situation before working with Ken?

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I'm in pharmaceutical sales. I would say that I wasn't really choosing the right partners for a period of time in my life. In some of the dating I was doing, I needed to understand kind of what the man was telling me and how to explain things to a man that I wanted.

Why did you choose Ken Blackman specifically?

I really liked the way he wrote a lot of his articles and explained just relationship dynamics. At first I hesitated because he seemed to specialize in working with long-term couples, and that's not the situation I was in. I was in a situation where I was newly dating someone and wanted to know if this was the right match.

How did Ken approach your specific relationship concerns?

On the surface, this partner looked like a great potential match, and Ken was able to ask both of us separately and together questions to dig deeper. He is an expert at translating, I would say.

What was the specific outcome of the coaching?

It actually only took me about three months to find out this was not my match. Thanks to the work that I did with Ken, that kind of sped up the process to open me to someone who really was the right match for me. I wasted a lot less time than usual.

What was the biggest realization you had during the process?

Was I holding on to, like, one positive aspect of a person? Which I finally realized that was my pattern. Ken's words of wisdom have sat with me for quite some time: trying to basically fit a square peg into a round hole does not work.

Who would you recommend Ken to?

If you're thinking about working with Ken, I think whether you want your relationship to be deeper or you wanna decide if you want to stay in a relationship or not, either way, he is the perfect person to work with. He can see a situation clearly that you may not be able to see when you're in it yourself.

Frequently asked

Does Ken Blackman only work with long-term couples?

Gretchen Prins initially hesitated because Ken appeared to specialize in long-term couples, while she was newly dating. However, she found his ability to dig deep into new relationship dynamics highly effective for individuals as well.

How does Ken Blackman help with communication between men and women?

Prins describes Ken as an expert at 'translating' relationship dynamics. He helped her understand what her partner was telling her and how to effectively explain her own needs to a man.

Can a relationship coach help me decide if I should stay or leave?

Yes, according to Prins, Ken is the 'perfect person' for this because he sees situations clearly from the outside. He helped her realize she was holding onto single positive aspects of a person rather than the whole reality.
