Coaching for Par and Couples
Cultivating a thriving relationship requires more than just affection; it demands conscious effort, profound understanding, and the right tools. Coaching for couples offers a structured, forward-looking approach to navigate the inevitable challenges that arise in a partnership, transforming them into powerful opportunities for growth and deeper connection. Unlike traditional couples therapy, which often delves into past traumas, this coaching method is action-oriented and goal-focused, aiming to create tangible, positive results in the present and future. It's about learning a new language for your relationship, requiring knowledge, practice, and repetition before it becomes ingrained. Many couples experience friction—minor arguments, misunderstandings, or a sense of living parallel lives. These are often symptoms of a deeper, underlying lack of trust, safety, and mutual respect. Coaching for par and couples equips you with highly effective communication tools. For instance, the Acknowledging Self-Responsible Dialogue (ASD) teaches you to express yourselves honestly and self-responsibly, without criticism or blame, by speaking solely from your own perspective ('I' statements, avoiding 'you'). The goal is mutual understanding and acknowledgment, not necessarily agreement. Another powerful tool is the Three-Step Rocket, a simple yet effective method to articulate your desires clearly: first, define your positive wish; second, express it using 'feeling words' from your own standpoint; and third, ask a concise, non-manipulative question. These foundational skills minimize misunderstandings and foster empathy, which are crucial for rebuilding trust. The intimate life is a vital bond within a partnership, distinguishing it from mere cohabitation. A struggling intimate life often signals deeper relational issues affecting trust and security. Mikael Hoffmann's coaching for par and couples addresses these foundational elements by teaching you to communicate your needs and desires positively and respectfully. It's about understanding that desire isn't automatic; it's actively created and maintained. The coaching process helps uncover 'secrets' – unspoken desires or feelings your partner may not be aware of due to insufficient communication. By acknowledging and working with the inherent differences between masculine and feminine approaches to love and problem-solving, couples learn to give each other what they truly need, even if it feels counter-intuitive or illogical to their own perspective. This understanding builds genuine connection and creates a fertile ground for intimacy to flourish, rooted in openness and mutual appreciation. Conflict is an unavoidable, and even healthy, part of any relationship, but how it's handled determines its outcome. When communication breaks down, an agreed-upon 'Stop Signal' can halt destructive patterns, allowing for a calmer, later discussion. Furthermore, tools like 'The Well' and 'The Cave' (or 'The Elastic Band') address the distinct ways masculine and feminine energies in a relationship approach emotional withdrawal and processing. Often, couples must learn to do the 'opposite' of what feels natural to achieve different results. This means actively choosing new, healthier habits and practicing them consistently, even when they feel artificial or difficult at first. This structured practice, like fire drills on a ship, builds the muscle memory for constructive interaction, ensuring safety and trust even in stormy emotional seas. The shift from merely reacting to consciously choosing self-responsible actions is fundamental to long-term success. Coaching for par and couples is a powerful, results-oriented journey that helps you break free from unhelpful patterns and build a relationship that truly thrives. Through a systematic approach and practical tools, you gain a 'driver's license' for the road ahead, guiding you to bridge divides and create a future filled with joy, understanding, and deep connection. This investment in coaching for par and couples transforms your relationship from a ship drifting at sea to one confidently steered towards a safe and thriving harbor. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

American Pie star admits snorting cocaine out of stranger's TRASH at 4am at depths of drug addiction
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JASON Biggs has revealed he retrieved a bag of cocaine from the trash THREE times in one night in his lowest moment battling addiction. The American Pie star said he tried to get rid of it multiple times at 4am - initially chucking it in his own kitchen trash before taking it out to do some more. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Jason Biggs has been sober for seven years Credit: Getty 4 American Pie star Jason shared his lowest moments during his addiction battle 4 American Pie is one of the most popular teen flicks of all time, and catapulted Jason to international stardom He then threw the rest into an outdoor bin, but later climbed into the bin to retrieve the drugs. He finally drove to a public trash can on Sunset Boulevard but later drove back and found it again. Biggs explained his wife, actress and author Jenny Mollen, was asleep upstairs completely unaware of what was happening. In a raw interview on Arielle Lorre's The Well podcast, the 47-year-old actor recounted moments that brought him dangerously close to rock bottom. 'I lived in the gray area, but I have 'snorting dust off the floor' stories or similar to that,' Biggs said. 'One of my craziest stories was I was doing cocaine by myself in my house, and I did what I said was 'the last line'.' 'Within 15 minutes, as soon as my last bump is wearing off, what am I doing?' he said. 'I go into my trash, and I take it out and I do a line.' He then attempted a more drastic step but again, the urge took over. 'Before I took the Ambien, I was like, 'One more,'' he recalled. Actress Jasmine Mooney stars in 2009's American Pie Presents The Book Of Love 'I went outside and I climbed into the trash bin and got the bag of coke and went upstairs and did another line. I was like, 'What the f–k am I doing? This is absolutely insane.'' Determined to stop, Biggs got in his car while high and threw the cocaine into a coffee cup with leftover coffee inside, then placed it in a public trash can. Still, the pull of the drug was stronger than him. 'When my last bump wore off, I drove back to the trash can and retrieved the drugs,' he said. 4 Jason shares two kids with his wife Jenny Mollen Credit: Getty 'I could have easily opened the baggie and dumped it down the toilet, but I didn't. That's too final. 'I knew I was going to finish that bag the moment I got it, but I kept playing this game with myself. That was very close to rock bottom.' Biggs, who shares two sons, Sid, 11, and Lazlo, 7, with Mollen, described how his addiction had taken over every part of his daily life. 'For me, it was the obsession over it,' he said. 'It was wake up and immediately think, 'How am I going to get my first line?'… It was exhausting and I was sort of consumed mentally.' Now more than seven years sober, Biggs says 'There is a freedom that comes with not having to do those things anymore.' In 2018, the Orange Is the New Black actor celebrated one year of sobriety with an emotional Instagram post, writing: 'I first tried to get sober over 5 years ago, when the weight of my obsession with booze and drugs became too heavy for me to handle. 'Turns out this s**t is hard. 'After some fits and starts, I've managed to put together one year of sobriety. I'm as proud of it as anything in my life. If you're struggling, know there's help. Don't be ashamed. We can do this.' Biggs has since reflected on the effort it took to conceal it his addiction. 'I'm going to therapy and 'working on things,' but meanwhile I'm leaving therapy, having just had a good session, and I'm going to the liquor store and buying a fifth of vodka, drinking it and then driving home,' he said on a March 2024 episode of All the Fails, hosted by his wife. 'I knew how to get wasted enough to where I took myself out of the life equation, took myself out of the present, didn't have to connect in a way that made me feel things,' he added. 'I had it figured out to a T. To not get too drunk where I couldn't have a conversation with you. 'I was replacing those bottles in the bar all the time.' RISE TO FAME After his American Pie role as the angsty teen who tried to masturbate with an apple pie, Jason appeared in several romcoms. He had a starring role in Boys and Girls, Saving Silverman, Wedding Daze and All at Once. His most notable role outside 1999's American Pie, however, was in hit series Orange is the New Black as journalist Larry Bloom. Earlier on, between 2012 and 2014 he received backlash for misguided jokes on social media, where he appeared to make fun of the doomed Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 and mocked the death of The Bachelorette contestant Eric Hill. He later apologised for the tweet about the tragic aircraft. Jason was linked to his co-star Tara Reid in 2000, but has been married to actress Jenny Mollen since 2008.
