Thank you for checking out the Positive Connections’ site. I hope you enjoy the resources and support you find here to improve your relationships.
My name is Katie Rössler, and it is my mission to help people have thriving relationships and work on being stronger, healthier versions of themselves. I have worked for over 10 years with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of therapy settings. Now, I am taking my expertise and experience and providing it to you!
Isn’t it easier to learn tools you would in a therapist’s office in the comfort of your own home?
As a wife and mom to two little girls, I understand the challenges of finding time and energy to work on your relationships. Finding time to take care of you is tough too. I even created the Chief Household Officer Academy to support more moms like me! I have found, personally and professionally, that when we focus on creating more positive connections in our lives our stress levels decrease and we enjoy life more. Who wouldn’t want that?!
There is such a benefit to getting good quality support and education at a pace that works for you and in the way you want to receive it. That is why I offer a variety of ways to learn on the Positive Connections website: courses, videos, audios, and in-person events. The beauty is that most of these can be done from the comfort of your own home.
I love connecting with people! Here is where you can find me:

If you have only used an iPhone since the first time you had a phone, it is going to be a challenge to later own an Android or Windows phone. The turn on/off button, the volume, the app design & placement, how to take a picture… it will all be different. You won’t be able to do things out of habit, and you may find yourself often thinking ‘I don’t like how this new phone works. It makes no sense!’.
But if you buy a new phone and say, ‘I’m going to learn how this phone works and not expect it to be like my previous phone,’ you will be more open to the new challenge and actually learn faster. You won’t be creating negative messages which tell you something is ‘wrong’ or make you feel your iPhone is ‘superior’ to all other phones. I know…I know…if you are an iPhone user this may be hard to believe!
This is the same when we get into a relationship with someone from a different culture. If you don't go into it expecting the way they think and act is different in a positive way, you will want to change them and find it a problem when they won't change the things you don't like.
Post an emoji below if this analogy helped you see better what it is like to be in a relationship with someone from a different culture.
