Jason Polk, LCSW, LAC

My name is Jason Polk, and I’m a couples therapist, addictions counselor, and owner of Colorado Relationship Recovery.

My passion is helping couples build harmonious, thriving relationships.

I’ve been in hopeless places in past relationships. I’ve gone through a divorce. I know the hurt of disconnection, the sadness of confusion, whether it’s occurred gradually or suddenly.

My past painful experiences with relationships have motivated me to help couples avoid similar anguish.

I’m a Level II PACT (psychobiological approach to couple therapy) therapist, certified in RLT (relational life therapy), and certified Clini-Coach®.

In addition, I’m certified by the Healing Our Core Issues Institute (HOCII) and a featured therapist on the Healing Trauma Network.

What does that mean to you?

Basically, I’ve spent a lot of money and time learning how to help you have a healthy relationship with yourself and your partner.

During my journey towards relational health, I’ve been able to reflect on things I’ve done wrong. I’ve also been fortunate enough to learn from these missteps and put my relationship first.

Now I’m happily married.

If I can do it, so can you!

6.3 Vulnerability: Strengthening Connections Through Shared Emotions

“A simple definition of vulnerability is sharing emotions – not anger, but below it – that are real to you. Life can be challenging as humans, and sharing our challenges with someone we trust is sharing vulnerability.
