Relationship Intensives
a Deep Dive into Healing & Growth
Who Are Couple Intensives for?
- Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated and in need of a profound change?
- Relationship Therapy Intensives offer a focused platform to explore the heart of your struggle, process trauma, and create meaningful transformation in a condensed time frame.
- Intensives create dedicated time to step away from the hustle of daily life and concentrate solely on shifting the patterns causing conflict, resentment or distance from each other.
We’re so glad you found us!
Do you resonate with any of these?
- We are caught in a pattern of miscommunication and fighting about what was said or done.
- There has been a rupture, an affair or a betrayal that we can’t seem to get through and are desperate for help.
- One or both of us has a trauma history that effects how we show up and we can’t find our footing.
- We are trying to manage family dynamics of kids, extended family members, exes or friends and fight about it.
- We don’t seem to be able to give our partner what they need and then feel judged, criticized or unsafe.
- We are at a breaking point and are tired of being in limbo of whether we should stay together or break up.
- We’ve been doing weekly couples therapy and still have the same issues. Please help us!
What can a Relationship Therapy Intensive help with?
– Navigating Relationship Challenges using Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to identify relational patterns, calm defenses and build healthier communication skills. We will address the hurt and pain so you can move toward healing.
– Navigate the symptoms of Trauma from your family of origin and within the relationship using Parts Work, Inner Child Integration, Hypnotherapy and reclaiming Relational Mindfulness and Self-Esteem.
– Stabilizing after a life-altering event or major conflict so you can process the pain in a safe environment and regain emotional balance faster than weekly therapy will allow.
How does an Intensive work so well?
Focused time means you can move beyond the surface and into the heart of the pattern and make rapid improvement.
We can Dive Deep into the original wounding that causes the protective defenses to come up and create the layered patterns that get in the way of your connection.
Creating space for processing so each of you can witness the efforts of healing your partner is making and feeling more compassion for their side of things.
You will practice Relational Skills without the stress of a 60-minute window, which allows the breakthrough to go deeper into learned knowledge.
Repairing the hurts involves learning how to hold space for each other and own your part of the dynamic/pattern. The more time we have to process, the more easily our brain and bodies can accept and trust the repair experience.
