Getting the Love You Want:
Streamlined Essentials Couples Workshop
If you’re craving deeper connection with your partner, this online workshop is for you! In just one weekend, you and your partner will learn how to rekindle friendship, humor, and romance. Join us in a private workshop setting with professional guidance, from the comfort of home.
During this workshop, you and your partner will learn effective communication tools to feel seen and heard, uncover how your past may influence your current relationships, and practice connecting in a secure and meaningful way. You’ll leave on a high note, feeling equipped to support each other, celebrate the positives, and navigate frustrations or conflicts ahead as a team!
All workshop exercises are completed privately between you and your partner. The only times you need to speak to the group are to introduce yourselves and if you have any questions during the weekend.
This workshop is based on the evidence-based principles of Imago Relationship Therapy and the best-selling book, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples by Harville Hendrix, PhD and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD.
