"Getting the Love You Want"
Weekend Workshop for Couples
The Goals of the Workshop are:
- To provide you with the opportunity to spend a distraction free weekend focused on your relationship.
- To validate your conflicts, power struggles and frustrations as predictable and even necessary aspects of a committed partnership.
- To present, demonstrate and practice essential relational tools that will help resolve conflicts and move you to a higher level of functioning as a couple.
- To clearly show the steps necessary to increase safety and reduce reactivity.
- To help you learn your partner's love language.
- To send you home with a jointly created vision of what your ideal relationship will look like and knowledge of the tools necessary to take you on the journey to a safe and passionate marriage.
What Graduates Are Saying . . .
The Workshop is appropriate for you if:
- You want to enrich/deepen a good relationship.
- It's early in your relationship and you would like to establish solid foundations and healthy communications patterns.
- Your long term relationship is lacking energy, passion and a sense of connection.
- Your relationship is near death and you want to see if it can be saved.
This workshop was developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. from the exclusive study of couples. It is comparable to 3 to 6 months of weekly therapy sessions in cognitive and experiential learning. It has been utilized by thousands of couples in twenty countries and is now available on 5 continents. It is not a quick fix. It is a realistic understanding of the path to a safe and passionate marriage, a roadmap of the journey, and the tools needed to get you there.
The workshop will provide the safety needed to fully focus on your partner, yourself and your relationship. By exploring childhood experience and romantic attraction you'll begin to understand the nature of your struggles in a very different way. You'll spend time alone and together reflecting and writing the details of your conscious and even unconscious needs in the relationship and then you'll share that information in a way that amplifies understanding and empathy.
The workshop format includes:
- Lectures, supported visually with the latest in presentation graphics, about the purpose and dynamics of your relationship.
- Individual reflection and recording using the "Institute for Image Relationship Therapy" Couples' Manual.
- Demonstrations of communication skills (6).
- Practicing new behaviors and skills with your partner. While this workshop is conducted in a group environment you are not required to participate in personal group interaction. This is not group therapy. You share only with your partner in a safe, comfortable and confidential manner.
