Intensives
Intensives with Ellen
I offer couple’s intensives on my own, and also offer intensives where my husband, Jayson Gaddis, and I facilitate together. More on each of these offerings below.
Couple’s intensives with me comprise 3 half days (4-5 hours each day) of personalized therapy and coaching designed to make a real impact in a short period of time in your partnership. Intensives can significantly and efficiently address long standing patterns and dynamics that have inhibited or stalled out growth in your relationship. With willing and receptive clients (who understand that integration and ongoing practice will also be key to further development and relational changes) an intensive can be a game changer in your relationship trajectory.
Some of the aspects of your partnership that we will devote time to (subject to change based on your particular situation, needs, and goals for your relationship):
- Understanding your attachment dynamics
- Learning how to build a sense of security into your partnership
- Understanding how to work with your partner’s nervous system in a productive, supportive way
- Understanding how to work through conflict and repair any issue between you, past or present
- Learning how to effectively navigate external life stressors such as work, kids, family members, friends, finances, career, hobbies, religion, or politics, or any other area of life in a way that strengthens your relationship instead of stresses it
- Crafting a shared vision and purpose for your partnership
- Creating agreements that help you move toward your goals for growth and development as individuals and a couple
- Creating a plan for follow up action and accountability for your partnership
An intensive could be very successful for you if:
You are open to learning and have a growth mindset
You both want change sooner than later
You want to make a decision about your relationship sooner than later
You can afford the time, energy, and resources to devote 3 days to your relationship
You recognize that integration and ongoing practice will be essential to your success
You are both feel safe enough with each other to to invest yourselves into the in depth intensive work, as well as the follow up plan
You must NOT be:
Suffering from mental illness or abuse, or keeping secrets around addictions, betrayals, affairs, finances, or other secrets of this nature
