Couples Intensives
"Everything is workable."
— Trungpa Rinpoche
Couples intensives are a powerful and transformative way of working, with growing evidence of effectiveness in their own right, and in comparison to weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
If shifting out of negative cycles, rebuilding trust, restoring connection, creating intimacy, or making some big decisions about how or whether to move forward in your relationship are top priorities, I highly recommend booking a couples intensive with me. Couples intensives are perfect for people with busy lives, for those coming from a distance, or for people who value the depth and momentum that an accelerated, immersive experience offers. They compress months of weekly therapy into a weekend or an extended or day-long session.
I offer focused and curated couples intensives, so that you have enough time and support to get to the bottom of patterns, work through painful injuries of the past and present, and practice new skills immediately with guidance.
Understandably, we want a lot from our intimate partner relationships, and everybody benefits when we commit to developing mature, deep and reliable partnerships.
I will guide and support you with:
- addressing deeply rooted issues
- learning how to repair
- having difficult conversations
- working with intensity in your nervous systems
- navigating conflict skilfully
- working with vulnerability without blame
- releasing outdated roles and identities
- creating agreements that feel alive and equitable
Being in a healthy relationship allows us to come through difficult times ok, together, grow, do hard things, express our best selves, and enjoy the creativity and richness of real intimacy. I draw from certification from the Couples Institute and training from Relational Life Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. I am equipped to work with you on trauma and patterns that you may be coming in with. I have 28 years of deepening and thriving in long-term relationship with my life partner, along with raising 3 adventurous boys.
Couples intensives can include office work, virtual work, and meeting outside in nature with or without horses. I meet couples for half day, full day, or weekend intensives.
Please contact me to inquire about the possibilities that might work for you.
