Core Module 4 — Understanding Relationship Patterns

Foundational Module · Mentalis Method™ — Pillar 4

Module Overview

Relationships shape our emotional lives more than almost any other human experience. How we connect, communicate, manage conflict, and navigate intimacy is deeply influenced by early experiences, unconscious patterns, and emotional needs.

Through the lens of the Mentalis Method™, Pillar 4 - Thriving in Relationships, we explore the psychology of relationships through a structured, compassionate lens. You’ll learn how relational patterns form, why conflicts repeat, and how communication, boundaries, vulnerability, and endings can become opportunities for growth rather than sources of distress. This module blends psychological theory, reflective practice, and practical tools to support healthier, more conscious relationships—with others and with yourself.

Important:
The five micro-courses in this module must be completed in sequence.

Module 4 can be taken independently or as part of the Mentalis Method™ diploma pathway.
