What is the relationship escalator?

The relationship escalator is a term coined by Amy Gahran. It refers to the collection of expected behaviors and choices and that must be followed for a relationship to be seen as legitimate. Most of us don’t realize this is a script set out for us— we just feel shame or failure when we cannot meet these goals as expected.

Who is this discussion for? Those who are:

- in a relationship rut; it feels routine.

- single and dating or considering dating

- anxious and nervous about going too fast

- raising awareness of their own romantic behavior and motivations

- recognizing they've put pressure on themselves or others to "ride" the relationship escalator

- want to let go of judging themselves or others based on relationship status

- experienced in managing romantic relationships and expectations

Join us Thursday, August 17th at 6p Pacific / 8p Central / 9p Eastern for an engaging discussion about the relationship escalator. We can share experiences and understand that the social script may or may not be for us; how whether or not we participate does not make us wrong or right or cool or vanilla. Releasing judgments and escalator expectations. There will be a worksheet for consideration.
