Is Your Relationship In A Crisis And In Need Of Immediate Attention?

Are you and your partner currently facing significant challenges in your relationship that seem impossible to overcome? Do you find yourselves at a point where the future of your relationship is uncertain, and you’re contemplating separation or divorce? Are you interested in therapy that provides more urgent and focused intervention in a shorter period of time?

Couples intensives with Unload It Therapy gives you and your partner the meaningful opportunity to retreat from the demands of your busy schedules and focus exclusively on your marriage or relationship. Whether you’re seeking to navigate ongoing connection or communication issues or reduce time spent in sessions—couples intensives are an effective way to address challenges and witness tangible results in a short timeframe.

What Can You Gain From The Intensive Couples Therapy?

By dedicating concentrated, undivided focus to your relationship, couples intensives provide an opportunity for you and your partner to:

• Learn your body’s responses to relationship stressors.
• Develop awareness of how stressors impact behaviors.
• Learn techniques to control and manage stress responses.
• Focus on connecting with your emotions.
• Build a deeper connection through emotional understanding.
• Address difficult or uncomfortable topics.
• Create a sense of security within the relationship.
• Develop positive habits, strategies and attitudes for healing.
• Embrace change in the relationship.

Navigating relationships can be challenging, with certain days proving more difficult than others. Ultimately, both you and your partner share common goals. Engaging in couples intensives allows you to center your attention and focus on yourself, your partner, and the shared values you have to help you shape your lives together. The skills you learn here will give you the tools to navigate distress and enhance a meaningful connection. We aim to guide you toward transformative healing experiences.

In Couples Intensive Therapy, we blend Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman methods to create an effective, personalized approach that gets to the heart of relationship challenges. We start by diving into the sensitive matters that are hard to talk about—like past hurts or moments where one partner felt ignored or left out.

EFT draws couples closer by meticulously tracking the cycle of negative patterns and interactions. This process allows for the exploration of alternative interactions that foster greater understanding and connection. The infusion of Gottman techniques—including the use of pulse monitors to track emotional arousal levels—adds a dynamic dimension to intensives, enabling couples to gain awareness of heightened emotional states and learn effective strategies for managing and responding to them.

We incorporate the Gottman method because it helps us understand attachment needs and the patterns that contribute to emotional distancing. The restructuring of interactions involves emotional processing and the creation of new emotional responses, facilitating a positive transformation in the way couples engage with each other. We do our best to allow both parties to feel seen and heard and to create ‘vibing moments’ by providing a welcoming environment, listening ear, and combining elements of both EFT and the Gottman approach.
