June 12, 2010 – Married to Distraction Couples Workshop:  Restoring Intimacy and Strengthening your Marriage in an Age of Interruption – Waltham, MA

Edward Hallowell, M.D. and his wife, Sue Hallowell, an experienced couple’s therapist, are teaming up to teach and coach couples through this daylong workshop. The workshop is designed for couples who feel frustrated due to their troubles in communicating effectively, in making time for each other, in having the kind of fun they used to have together, and in getting done all that needs to get done without lapsing into arguments and struggles.  Ned and Sue take a practical approach, making sure that all who attend will leave with concrete steps they can take to restore intimacy and improve their relationship.   Click here for more information.    If you’d like your name put on our mailing list or have suggestions for the next location, please email hallowellevents@drhallowell.com
