Level Up Your Relationship!

The word alone is intimidating: intensive! Many couples shy away from doing an emotionally focused (or EFT) intensive because they get the impression it’s only for crisis intervention.

Yes, we see plenty of couples in high distress. And we do a great job helping them get clarity so they can get unstuck and have a realistic path forward.

But, check this out: the couples that are proactive and come to us to “Level Up” their relationship are really onto something.

Hear from one of our google reviews: “Our intensive was exactly what we needed to go deeper into an already healthy relationship. Our therapist helped us to slow down and see what good emotions and desires were underneath the unhealthy ways we showed up in conflict. That there were no “good guys” or “bad guys,” just two people who want to connect. Hugely connecting for our marriage.”

Another intensive client said she knew she wanted to “Level Up” their relationship but had no idea how much they could actually do that. She said she got “more than I hoped for!”

What does Level Up really mean? From our experience as EFT Intensive therapists, we see couples do “ok” on their own and yet they intuitively know there’s more connection and intimacy they could be tapping into. They just don’t know how to get there or why it’s not happening.

When you work with an “ok” relationship and Level Up into a great relationship, the research shows that the bond just gets stronger after the work is completed. It’s exponential! Secure attachment (the goal in our work with couples) means you can weather any storm together. The things that used to throw you off course - now they just make you stronger.

We keep up with our intensive clients. We’re seeing a trend: if the couple does follow-up work after their intensive, their relationship satisfaction continues to grow over time. And, they do “graduate” - not needing therapy anymore! YES. That’s a win for everyone.
