- Are you and your partner at a crossroads and experiencing significant problems?
- Do you need help now and don’t have time for multiple couple therapy sessions?
If so, Colorado Relationship Recovery offers a couple intensive.
A couple intensive is for couples in pain and their relationship needs to be fixed now. The purpose of an intensive is to get back on track relationally and to arm you with relational tools. They are designed to help you understand what you’re doing wrong, as well highlight what you’re doing right relationally.
During our intensive, I will teach you two how to fight fair. Conflict is inevitable in relationships and it’s important to be able to have conflict and be OK. You will practice both speaker and listener roles as well as begin to have appreciation for how communication is difficult on a good day – as it’s influenced by attachment, arousal, body language, mood, memory, and perception. What could possibly go wrong?
Each partner will do a personal attachment inventory (PAI) in the presence of each other. This is to help you understand how you and your partner are wired. Understanding attachment science helps you understand the context of your reflexes and vulnerabilities as well as your partner’s reflexes and vulnerabilities. Understanding these helps you take certain behaviors less personally, and more importantly, gives you a blueprint on how to apply the antidote.
