Frequently asked

Does Transformative Listening work if I am a skeptic?
Andre D. was initially a skeptic who grew up in a household where emotions weren't considered real. He recommends trying it just once to see how your body feels, noting that he felt an immediate shift from heavy to light after his first experience. — Andre D.
How does the practice help with interpersonal conflict?
Andre explains that he no longer has as much conflict because he can recognize when others are distressed and hold a 'listening space' for them to shed that distress, rather than reacting to it. — Andre D.
What happens during a Transformative Listening retreat?
Andre participated in 'rage sessions' where he used specific exercises to express bottled-up anger. He described a curated scene where he was held down by seven men, which led to a breakthrough about no longer wanting to carry other people's emotional loads. — Andre D.
Is relationship coaching worth the financial investment?
Kristen Struble noted that money was a 'big one' for her and her partner, but she views it as a commitment to oneself and honoring the coach's ability to address finances, emotional intelligence, and past trauma. — Kristen Struble
How does Ken Blackman compare to traditional therapy?
Kristen found that Ken could navigate challenging partnership dynamics in a way no therapist she had worked with before could, specifically by translating body language and keeping the conversation focused rather than tangential. — Kristen Struble
Can coaching help if I'm afraid of making a mistake in marriage?
Yes, Kristen struggled with the fear of 'Russian roulette' in choosing a spouse; Ken helped her break down those walls by teaching her to find 'true yeses and nos' in her body intuition. — Kristen Struble
