Expert chat:Understanding and strengthening your relationships -Thur 11th April 7-8pm

On Thursday 11th April our expert Karen Cairns will be joining us in live chat from 7-8pm.
Karen is an NLP practitioner who works for OnePlusOne (they run the Couple Connection website). She is experienced in supporting people to understand, improve and strengthen their relationships. She believes that by taking steps to strengthen your relationships and by being aware of potential problem areas you are much more likely to be able to avoid crisis points and difficulties.
What can I ask?
You can ask about any relationships you have in your life. You might have a particular difficulty in mind you would like to ask about. You might want to ask how you can improve a particular area of a relationship - perhaps communication with your mum or arguing with your partner. You might want to ask her a bit more about how to recognise potential crisis points and how to prevent them. This is also a great chat for you to come along to to offer your own support, suggestions and ideas to others. It should be a really interesting conversation.
How does it work?
If you've not been to an expert chat before, they work a bit differently. Your questions and comments will be approved before they appear in the chat room so that Karen can answer questions one person at a time. We will be there to explain things on the night and approve all your comments.
When the chat is open you'll be able to enter from the normal page: http://www.thesite.org/community/thesocial/chat
If you have a question but can't make the chat then you can post it here or PM me or Jo and we'll ask it on your behalf. The transcript from the chat will be published a few days after the event.
Hope to see lots of you there!

Neither is this link working http://chat.thesite.org/
Opened via Chrome , finally.
That link wont work anymore full stop. Best to go in from the main chat page in future
http://www.thesite.org/community/thesocial/chat
Huge apologies to those whose questions were lost - we overwhelmed the chat room!
Remember you can always ask a question in confidence to our relationships advisers on askTheSite too
I tried both the links, the main one http://www.thesite.org/community/thesocial/chat and the other one http://chat.thesite.org/
None of them were working but, then, I got in via chrome so, all good.
