Our Therapeutic Ingredients

Each Couples Intensive weaves together four powerful approaches. Here’s how they work in concert to transform your relationship.

Click each heading to learn how these four core approaches work together in your 2–3-day intensive.

  • We map hidden interaction patterns (power dynamics, enactments, survival strategies) to interrupt unhelpful cycles and foster genuine connection. RLT uncovers the “heartbeat” of your relationship so you can choose new, healthier rhythms.

  • We guide you to access core attachment emotions (fear, longing, vulnerability) and transform them into secure emotional bonds. You’ll practice new, corrective emotional experiences in-session.

  • Using EMDR grounded in over 30 years of peer-reviewed research, we reprocess past relational wounds, so triggers lose their charge and you can respond with presence instead of reactivity. EMDR’s efficacy is supported by randomized controlled trials demonstrating significant reductions in trauma symptoms and emotional reactivity.
