What is a COUPLES INTENSIVE?

The COUPLES INTENSIVE is a Private Transformational Seminar led by Michael and Amy Sherman of The Courageous Loving Center.  Intensives come in two formats – a Full Weekend or Half-Day programs (details below).  They are offered at our home office in Chestnut Ridge, NY, just north of the New Jersey border, 30 minutes from New York City.  They are also offered in the homes of our clients, wherever they are in the world.

A Couples Intensive is a way to get right to the heart of the matter in your relationship and move you through and beyond conflict in an immediate and lasting manner. When you and your partner complete a Couples Intensive, things in your relationship will never be the same.  You will experience a shift that previously felt impossible to get through.  You will have tools to systematically manage your relationship issues on your own. And you will crossover into a new way of being in your relationship that will bring you peace.

The Couples Intensive was an amazing use of our time. Amy really and truly “got” our issues and the problems we needed to address.  I am incredibly optimistic that by using the tools we learned, our marriage will improve significantly.”

-Lisa L. (Couples Intensive Graduate)

WEEKEND INTENSIVE:

The Weekend Couples Intensive works as follows:  We spend two full days teaching you how to master the basics of Imago Dialogue, such that you can use the process on your own. We get to the heart of the matter of the chronic issues that are affecting the relationship.

We will take you through powerful transformational counseling together as partners and separately as individuals.  We unearth what the causes from your past that are leading to the issues in the present, and we help you heal those issues as a couple.  We teach you to take personal responsibility for what you are bringing to the relationship, and we show you how to create and live by agreements that will lead to safe communication, profound change, and personal freedom.

“Michael helped to guide us into a place and space that we have needed to go for many years. This is the beginning of a new relationship for my husband and myself.  I look forward to this journey.”

-Sarah M. (Couples Intensive Graduate)

When you go through a Weekend Couples Intensive – your relationship will changed forever.  You will “graduate” into the next level of your couplehood – whatever that is meant to be.  For some, that means reconnection, recommitment and rejoicing.  It can feel like a rebirth of your marriage or partnership, an open door to new friendship, trust, sexual intimacy, purpose and direction.  It will bring you new romance along with consciousness and personal responsibility.

For others, that may mean separation and completion of the partnership.  In these cases, the Intensive serves to save two individuals, to help them usher in the next phase of their lives in a way that minimizes the damage, both financial and emotional.  It lets each partner reclaim their true self and choose to live in a new framework for their relationship.  This can be a painful process, but it is ultimately liberating, and it will help speed up the healing in a way that could otherwise take years. When a couple meant to separate remains in a state of paralysis, everyone suffers. The Intensive solves this problem.

“It is wonderful to be able to work through issues with a coach.” 

-A.L. (Couples Intensive Graduate)

WHO IS THE WEEKEND INTENSIVE FOR?  Couples who have a lot to lose and are currently stuck in behavior patterns that are ruining the partnership.  It is also for couples who want to remake themselves, to redesign who they are as partners, and to step into a new vision for their future.

WHY IS IT UNIQUE? Because you get the attention of a professional mentoring couple who are not only fearless and have seen it all before, but are also masters of Imago Dialogue, a technique that when practiced diligently, serves as martial arts practice to protect the relationship. Amy and Michael Sherman will walk you through the impossible and into a miracle.

HALF DAY INTENSIVE:

The Half- Day Couples Intensive works like as follows:  2 hours of counseling, a break with an assignment, followed by another 2 hours of counseling.  In this time, you and your partner will be taught the basics of Imago Dialogue, such that you will be able to do dialogues on your own as a couple.  You will also receive guidance and support to understand the dynamic in your relationship and begin the journey to transformation.  Depending on the needs of the couple in the moment, you may develop a set of relationship agreements, receive powerful coaching and feedback on an individual basis in the presence of your partner, and experience a shift in awareness about your partner that leads to profound insights and behavior changes.

“Great tension releaser!”    – Chris M. (Couples Intensive Graduate)

The Half-Day Couples Intensive is very powerful. You’re in, you’re out and everything is different.  Some couples repeat the Half-Day Intensive, using it as a monthly or quaterly recharge to their relationship.  It lets counseling work like a laundromat – you go through a spin cycle and then everything comes out clean.  Then if things get clogged or messy, you do another round and refresh yourself and your relationship.

“I had a very positive experience. I feel relieved and confident.  I would do it again.” 

-Marisol S. (Couples Intensive Graduate)

WHO IS THE HALF-DAY INTENSIVE FOR?  If you are not sure you want to commit to a full weekend or a 12 week program, but you know you need to learn new tools for communicating, this is perfect for you. If you are parents and you just don’t have a lot of time, you can do so much for your relationship in a focused half-day. If you live in driving distance from our office and want a recharge to your relationship, doing a Half-Day Intensive can feel like a mini-retreat for you and your partner in our woodsy home environment.  If you are divorcing or separating, and you want to integrate better tools of communication, this is a perfect way to learn how to avoid conflict in the future.  And if you are in a newly committed partnership, or you are recently married, then you can treat this “class” as a way to learn how to begin the journey the right way.

WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THE HALF-DAY INTENSIVE? Simply put – it’s the quality and the quickness. In only a few hours, you will “squeeze the lemon” of your relationship until you get to the juice.  We can help couples find out what they’re missing and help them create a gameplan to alleviate these issues in a short period of time.  You will learn Imago Dialogue such that you can do it on your own, and you will have the flexibility to repeat the training and take it to higher levels.
