4 Weeks to Work Through Conflict With a Friend

Have you had a big fight with your friend? In this course, you'll find out how to get to the bottom of what the argument is really about, how to discuss the situation calmly and rationally, how to truly apologize (or accept an apology) so you can both move forward, and finally, how to nurture your friendship to have less conflict going forward.

This course lasts four weeks, with one lesson delivered each week. The time between lessons helps you ponder and work on each key point in the road to making up with your friend. However, if you feel you'd like to move forward at a quicker rate, all the issues of this ecourse are also listed online. Choose the pace that is right for you and your friendship.
