Accelerate healing and create real transformation through a couple’s counseling intensive.
Our long-term romantic relationships are where we experience some of our most meaningful moments. The joy of being fully known, loved, and accepted. The wonder of creating family together. The excitement of shared dreams.
Unfortunately, our love relationships are also where we experience some of our hardest moments. We can feel betrayed, misunderstood, unimportant and alone. Despite our longing for safe secure connection with our partner we can struggle to create and maintain it together.
Our couple’s intensives, led by Bruce Butler LPC, CSAT, are designed to help you learn the skills and tools to deeply connect with one another in a way that reshapes your bond and moves you toward the intimacy you long for.
For those couples who are repairing their relationship after betrayal, the work of truly healing the emotional and sexual injuries is essential. Without the intentional and carefully guided process of meeting one another in the pain and hearing one another’s deepest truths and experiences, the relationship can continue to be haunted by the echoes of betrayal.
Do you want more? Perhaps your relationship is doing well overall and yet you still long for a deeper sense of connection, adventure, and play with your partner. This intensive will help you identify barriers and move through them while teaching you skills and tools that will help you move into the “more” that you have been longing for.
Is there an issue that you keep running into in your relationship over and over again? Despite your best attempts to resolve it together you find yourselves back stuck in the emotional mire? This intensive will be customized to address the issue that you feel you need support around to help you truly move through the stuck places in your relationship.
These intensives ARE a fit for you and your partner if…
- You have experienced betrayal in your relationship and have completed the initial stages of healing including a full therapeutic disclosure.
- You have not experienced betrayal in your relationship but have other issues that you want to spend focused, intentional time working through together.
- You are both fully committed to participating wholeheartedly in the intensive to create change in your relationship.
- You can drive or fly to Leesburg, Virginia to participate in the intensive in-person (we do not offer online or virtual couples intensives at this time).
These intensives are NOT a fit for you and your partner if…
- You have discovered betrayal in your relationship within the last six months and are in the initial stages of healing or have not completed a full therapeutic disclosure.
- You have already made the decision to leave the relationship and are only seeking help to appease your partner.
- You are looking for an intensive that facilitates completing a therapeutic disclosure (we do not offer disclosure intensives).
