ACCELERATED TRANSFORMATION

*The Coupes Intensive Experience*

THE POWER OF CONCENTRATED HEALING

A Couples Intensive delivers three – four months of traditional therapy in a single transformative weekend. This immersive experience creates the space for breakthrough moments that might take months to achieve in weekly sessions.

By stepping away from daily distractions and dedicating focused time to your relationship, you create the opportunity for:

* Rapid resolution of lingering issues
* Mastery of communication and conflict repair skills
* Renewed trust and emotional safety
* Rediscovered intimacy and connection

This concentrated format allows us to move beyond surface symptoms to address the root patterns that have created distance between you.

THE INTENSIVE DIFFERENCE

**Traditional Therapy**  | **Intensive Approach**

Weekly 45-60 minute sessions  | Immersive 4-6 hour daily sessions
3-6 months of treatment             | 3-5 days of focused work
Progress in small increments    | Transformational breakthroughs
Interrupted by life’s demands    | Protected space for healing
Focus easily diluted between sessions | Sustained momentum and progress

The Intensive format creates a container where insights can immediately translate into practical application, and where new patterns can be established before returning to daily life.

Before you get started:

Intensives work best when you create a “retreat” or “get-away” experience. Plan your hotel or Airbnb rental, and plan time to do other things you enjoy between session, so you enjoy a relaxed environment, have rest time and let the therapy sink in. After all intensives are a lot of work.

The reasons each couple chooses to attend a Couples Intensive are many and varied. The only criterion we have here at Imago Relationships Providence is that both you and your partner are committed to the work.
