COUPLES IMMERSION SESSIONS
Enhancing Intimacy & Connection in Your Relationship
Are you and your partner wanting to build an extraordinary relationship? One that is characterized by vulnerability, communication, and intimacy? One where you feel understood and cared for by your partner? We may be able to help. We can work together to help build relationship foundations, communication and conflict resolution skills, and bring awareness to unknown patterns that get you stuck. Most of us weren’t taught or shown what the science and practice of relationships reveals as essential for a healthy relationship, so we have to learn on our own and together! Many patterns in your current relationship are based on what you learned early in life and bring into your current relationship. Improving your understanding of yourself, your partner, and your past, can help you remove obstacles, and enhance your connection and satisfaction with your partner., so that you can have a more fulfilling relationship.
​​
We will work with you in an individually tailored way to identify where you and your partner can grow in your relationship, and what old patterns are driving your behavior with your partner, so you can break free of the old patterns and become the couple you want to be. We'll use a variety of evidence-based couples therapy models and tools to explore your inner landscapes, and enhance your ability to build a more satisfying, intimate relationship. We will teach you more about your selves, your inner world, and your partner's and help you build more effective communication skills.
​
We offer couples intensive sessions that integrate psychoeducation and skill building based on Attachment theory, the Gottman Method, PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) and IFS/IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out) models to support you wherever you are in your relationship. You’ll develop a common understanding of issues and goals in your relationship, share your feelings, needs, and desires, and explore the patterns that keep you stuck so you can learn skills to more effectively connect with each other and shift out of these patterns.
​​​
Why Immersion Sessions? Because they’re often more convenient and practical to schedule on a monthly or less often basis, because they give couples more time to dig in and get more work done than can happen in a 50-minute session, and because they are more cost effective since they give more time to process and skill build! Examples of the math below for those who want to track the cost per minute.
