Crisis/Trauma/ Affairs Couples Counseling Intensive Therapy

Whether a current crisis has shook the foundation of your relationship or past traumatic experiences are affecting your present connection & future intimacy, confronting the problem is something that should not be put off.

Avoiding the crisis &/or trauma decays the relationship more & more as time goes on. True intimate connection cannot be fostered when crisis & trauma are standing in the way. We understand how difficult it is to face the issue, but it is essential to healing both individually & relationally.

Our crisis/trauma intensive allows you & your partner the space to truly tackle what happened in a safe and validating environment, without prolonging the process through weekly sessions. We will address the issue(s) without judgment & will take your side through the process.

In the case of a recent/present affair, removal of that relationship in its entirety is a requirement for therapy. Also, please note, because of the nature of these issues only the Platinum and Diamond couples intensive therapy options are available for a crisis/trauma/affair couples therapy intensives.

Let’s Take a Peek at What’s Going On

Everyone has experienced some sort of traumatic event(s) during their lifetime. Whether one or both of you have suffered from the effects of trauma, it is likely your relationship has not been exempt from the repercussions. Additionally, nearly all couples are (or will be) touched by a crisis or trauma within the relationship. These can be direct, easily identifiable traumas, or indirect traumas that can even go unnoticed at a conscious level. Many issues within intimate relationships are rooted in unresolved trauma, which oftentimes turns into a direct crisis or trauma within the relationship that either you or your partner has caused.

Affairs, Trauma, & EMDR Therapy

Affairs always cause trauma in the betrayed partner. Symptoms of trauma can present as PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, etc. 

We have specialized training in Treating Affairs & Trauma, and are additionally trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, an empirically proven modality for the treatment of trauma.

EMDR is able to access the memory networks of the brain directly to clean out any blocks that may be preventing the brain from healing & correctly processing the traumatic memories. You already survived the worst part & EMDR is available to remove the obstacles so your brain is able to heal as it is naturally inclined to do, alongside your relationship. It is time to find healing, restoration, & recover wholeness.
