Sheltering-In Together: Couples Group

Limited to 6 couples

Living together 24/7 is hard. 

Turn it into an opportunity for closer connection with your partner.

Sheltering in can be an opportunity to find refuge in your relationship during times of distress in the world at large.  At the same time, if you are in a particularly rough patch in your relationship when things aren’t feeling good between you, then your partner may not feel like the source of comfort or connection you wish for.  It can make the isolation of sheltering in even more difficult and scary.

You are not alone.  We have heard from many couples that these times are particularly harrowing for their relationship, and the circumstances make it feel that much more challenging. 

Having led dozens of workshops for couples, Drs. Silvina Irwin and Lisa Blum know that one of the most transformative elements of our workshops is the experience of being with other couples, to shed the feeling of being alone, doomed or crazy in your experience and struggles.   

We are offering a special time-limited psychotherapy group[3] for couples where we will come together and work through the stuck spots in your relationship.   Space is limited to 6 couples.  The only pre-requisite is having attended any Hold Me Tight Workshop or participated in prior or concurrent EFT psychotherapy.  (If you have other couples therapy/workshop experience and want to participate in this group, call us to discuss).

Together we can bridge the painful emotional gaps in the midst of all the physical togetherness.

[1] Please register and we will let you know when the group will begin.

[2] Total cost is $875.  If you would like to make arrangements to pay in 2 installments, please select “Pay at Door” at checkout to allow you to register without paying, and then email us.

The beauty of doing this type of work in a group setting is the opportunity to gain personal insight through interaction with supportive peers.

Couples Support Group

We are pleased to offer a couples therapy group where couples will learn how to deepen and heal their relationship. Couples can expect to gain understanding in the following areas:

• Communication patterns that don't lead to closeness

• Cycles of conflict

• Strong emotions that can arise in relationships

• New ways to connect emotionally

The group setting allows couples to work alongside other couples who face similar challenges in their relationship. This increased support helps members to feel less alone in their relationship struggles and explore new strategies for connecting..

Together, couples will discover new pathways to achieving closeness, healing, and deep connections with their partner.
