Couples Intensives
Fairfax Integrative Therapy offers couple’s intensives, for couples that are interested in a more intensive, and more efficient therapeutic experience.
Couples Intensives can vary in length, from 4 hours to multi-day depending on goals and needs. During these sessions, couples can strengthen the skills necessary for healthy communication, build tools to challenge unhealthy patterns in the relationship, explore individual beliefs and experiences influencing the relational dance, and heal wounds from any attachment injuries.
As an added resource, after identifying relational triggers unique to your couple dynamic, interested couples have the opportunity to incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Integrating EMDR into couples therapy can help the couple desensitize triggers so that each partner can more easily access the healthy tools and techniques taught throughout the intensive. EMDR can also facilitate a faster, deeper healing process if the need is there. Learn more about EMDR HERE.
Goals Can Include:
- Provide concrete tools to improve communication and strengthen connection
- Build insight into each partner’s internal process and how that contributes to the relationship dynamic
- Label and explore any unhealthy relational patterns that may worsen over time
- Learn about emotion regulation and window of tolerance, necessary building blocks allowing access to healthy tools of communication
- Desensitize relational triggers using EMDR
- Heal past relational wounds and repair
