Relationship Intensives

Here at the Center for Relationship & Intimacy Well-Being, we believe in connection’s transformative power. Relationships are the heartbeat of our lives, and the ripple effects can be deeply felt in every facet of our lives. Our Relationship Intensives are designed to help you and your partner rebuild trust, heal wounds, and rediscover the pleasure and joy in your connection.

We invite you to take this step toward healing and transformation. Your relationship deserves the care and attention that a Relationship Intensive can provide.

What is a Relationship Intensive?

A Relationship Intensive is a focused and immersive approach to relationship healing. Unlike traditional weekly therapy sessions, intensives provide dedicated time to explore and address relational challenges in a concentrated timeframe in a more profound and dedicated manner. Over the course of one or more days, you and your partner will engage in a uniquely tailored therapeutic journey guided by a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist and sex therapist.

This immersive format allows for a deep dive into the complexities of your relationship, providing the space and tools to foster meaningful change and growth. Whether navigating a crisis, rekindling a connection, or seeking to reclaim pleasure and intimacy, a Relationship Intensive offers a unique opportunity to create lasting transformation.

How Does It Work?

Our Relationship Intensives are highly customized to meet your unique needs and goals. Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation

Before your intensive, we’ll schedule a consultation to understand your relationship history, current challenges, and desired outcomes. This helps us tailor the experience to your needs, ensuring the work we do together is meaningful and effective.

2. Preparation Phase

You’ll receive personalized resources and exercises to help you and your partner prepare for the intensive. These may include reflective prompts to uncover emotional blocks, communication tools to enhance dialogue, and mindfulness practices to ground and center yourselves before the intensive.

3. The Intensive Experience

Throughout your intensive, we’ll combine therapeutic modalities such as expressive arts, somatic practices, 4-D approach, sex therapy, experiential exercises, and guided dialogue. Each session is carefully designed to help you:

Address unresolved issues with empathy and understanding.
Rebuild trust and create a secure emotional connection.
Enhance communication and navigate conflict constructively.
Reignite physical intimacy and deepen emotional closeness.

4.

You’ll have the time and space to practice new skills, process emotions, and reconnect on a profound level.

5. Integration Support

After the intensive, you’ll receive follow-up guidance to help sustain your progress. This may include check-in sessions, personalized exercises, and additional resources to keep your relationship growth on track. Integration ensures that the transformation achieved during the intensive becomes a lasting part of your relationship practices to continue deepening your connection.

Who Are Relationship Intensives Not For?

While Relationship Intensives can be transformative for many couples, they may not be the right fit for everyone. These intensives are not suitable for:

Couples experiencing ongoing domestic violence or abuse

Safety is paramount, and situations involving harm require specialized interventions and support.

Partner(s) in Acute Crisis

If one of the partners or both are experiencing active suicidal ideation, severe self-harm behavior or are in the midst of a life-threatening mental health crisis, stabilization and immediate support may be needed before engaging in a Relationship Intensives.

Partners who are unwilling to engage in the process

Both individuals need to be committed to the intensive experience for it to be effective.

Couples navigating active addiction

Addressing substance abuse or addiction often requires its own focused treatment before relational healing can occur.

Individuals dealing with unmanaged severe mental health issues

Stabilizing mental health is an essential first step before diving into intensive relationship work.

If any of these situations resonate with you, we encourage you to seek the appropriate support to address these foundational concerns before considering a Relationship Intensive. Your well-being and safety are our top priorities.
