Woven into all of the support and education I offer couples is a foundational belief that we all can access greater levels of joy through nourishing our connections to ourselves and others.
When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, accept our shadows and
become the most authentic version we open to boundless LOVE and Joy regardless of the challenges we are navigating.
An intensive couples therapy session is customized for you
and your partners current needs.
Ranging from 3-5 hours.
A one-day intensive without follow up appointments is a good fit for couples seeking preventative care, couples with a solid relationship that have some minor issues to work out, and couples interested in premarital preparation. This establishes healthy patterns and skills to begin with.
Established relationships benefit from intensives with follow ups as it creates a supported space for both partners to show up for each other in a new way acknowledging and resetting the maladaptive patterns that get in our way of healthy conflict.
Once the patterns of our past begin to flow into our relationships it takes time and intention to create new ones. Intensives with the goal of creating new patterns are most effective with at least 3, two hour follow up sessions. Offered via tele-health or at the healing center for couples who are close enough to travel.
All services offered via tele-health or at the center Salmon.
Learn new skills to nourish your connection and create healthier conflict.
Marathon Couples Therapy from the Gottman Method consists of three consecutive days for 18 hours total. Friday evening, Saturday day with lunch break and Sunday Morning.
This offering creates the space and time to allow for new patterns to establish and connection to be nourished. It is all inclusive at the White Horse Healing Center (there is a hot tub )
You and your partner will have time to talk in-depth about the struggles and challenges within the relationship in a way that simply cannot happen in the tradition style of couples therapy. There is time to process past wounds that have never healed, and with support each partner can explore with curiosity to gain deeper understanding of how these wounds have impacted the relationship and how they show up in conflict.
There is time to learn and practice new communication skills to help you have more productive conversations and conflict. Couples who have experienced this form of therapy usually describe it as life-changing and transformative.
Marathon Couples Therapy offers some practical benefits as well. It’s a good fit for couples who want intensive therapy but don’t live in the vicinity of Salmon. It’s also a good fit for couples whose schedules do not allow for them to go to weekly therapy sessions. There is not a waitlist, once you reach out we find the next available weekend making it a great fit for couples who are wanting support immediately.
After an intensive couples therapy session it has been helpful for consistency when couples commit to one to three follow up sessions to assist with integration of new routines and skills. The new ways of relating to each other take time to establish and follow up support nourishes greater success.
