Imagine providing couples with the space and focus to experience significant change in their relationship. That’s the power of intensive work. Weekly therapy sessions can often feel fragmented leaving the couples feeling frustrated and hopeless. Intensives work allows couples to build a strong foundation for confronting long standing issues. Couples need new skills to manage emotional reactivity and to face differences and conflict.
Couples intensives work because they create an environment of uninterrupted focus, enabling couples to address conflict, avoidance, hostility, and stalled progress head-on. With your guidance and strong leadership, they can explore their emotions, communication styles, disillusionment, and betrayals in ways that simply aren't possible in shorter, sporadic sessions.
