Private Intensive Couples Retreat

This experience is designed to meet your specific needs as a couple. A typical intensive is ten hours, spread over the course of two to three days. During our time together, we’ll explore the dynamics of your relationship and the issues that are creating stress, concern, and disconnect. With this work, couples come to realize the impact that their individual defense mechanisms have on their partner, and they learn how to resolve their differences by turning toward each other, as opposed to erecting walls to protect themselves.

A private couples intensive is an ideal way to move your relationship from one stage of development into the next. If you’ve been dating and are ready to make a commitment to each other, spending time and resources in this way could be the best investment you will make in yourself and in your partner. Choosing the person to be in a committed relationship with may be the most important decision you make in your lifetime. So many of the future decisions you make will be based on this person, and how you relate to each other. Throughout this process I will help you both to develop communication techniques that lead to safer conversations, as well as a deeper understanding of each other and your individual and shared relationship goals.

If there has been a betrayal that has fractured the relationship, then during the intensive, we’ll work together to repair the hurt and to understand the scope of change required to move the relationship back toward connection. If a relationship is on the brink of dissolution, there are hard conversations to have, and amends to be made. You must address the key issues head on, to determine if there is a way back from all the pain and suffering. It IS possible to move toward personal and relational healing during this process, and to co-create the vision and action plan needed for a sustainable and loving relationship.

Even the most difficult of issues can be addressed in this structured intensive experience. Some topics include (but are not limited to):

• Emotional and/or physical betrayal or infidelity
• Porn addiction
• Substance use and/or misuse
• Financial disparities and expectations
• Aging dynamics and sexual desire discrepancy
• The impact of individual trauma on the relationship
• Family of origin dynamics
• Loss and Grief
