Intensive Counseling
I offer Individual and Couples intensive experiences that work to provide a more focused approach to life or relational issues. These intensives are custom built around the needs of the individual or couple. Currently, I am offering these in Nashville, TN.
Intensives exist to help jumpstart the healing process and more quickly addresses root problems in relationships and individuals lives. I utilize a multi-faceted approach to intensives. First and foremost, face-to-face counseling is the foundation for the program. The role-playing and real-life communication that happen are the best data points for what needs to be addressed in relationships. Secondly, I incorporate experiential exercises to help rebuild trust, faith, and love. Lastly, and less tangibly, I educate and teach about human behavior, attachment needs, and the psychological/spiritual makeup of humans.
The following is an example of a Couples Intensive Program:
Couples Intensive: Learn, Connect, Grow
Day 1
1:00 - 3:30 - Couples Work
3:45 - 5:30 - Individual Sessions
5:30 - 6:30 - Dinner Break
6:30 - 9:00 - Couples Work, Homework
Day 2
11:30 - 5:30 - Couples Work
5:30 - 6:30 - Dinner Break
6:30 - 8:00 - Couples Work
8:00 - 9:00 - Closure & (s)Ending
The goal of the intensive is: Learn; Connect; Grow. I’ll be utilizing some assignments during our time together that will facilitate this process. Among other things, you will walk away knowing more clearly: Your relationship dance; pain/coping cycles you both utilize; you/your partners emotional triggers; and a vision of building your future together.
Objectives:
- Learn the story of your marriage
- Connect and Communicate honestly about needs, wants, desires, expectations.
- Grow in conflict resolution, attachment security, and intimacy
This will equate to roughly 15 hours of direct work together. Here are some questions to consider:
- What factors have contributed to seeking guidance at this point of life?
- What area of life doesn’t seem to be working well? Where do you desire change?
- Where would you like to grow? Is there a particular area of struggle or challenge that you want to address?
- What would success in our time together look like for you?
