Your personalized OASIS couple intensive is designed to work more quickly than conventional couple therapy. Utilizing creative interventions from Relational Neuroscience, in most cases, patterns of disconnection can be transformed to create healthy attachment bonds – and energize mobility in areas where you and your partner have been stuck – all in less than one week-end!
We start with a 3-step on-line in-take process, after which, you’ll have 8 hours of time over two days with your therapist to take a deep-dive together, as we follow your personalized treatment plan. Most couples opt for a second follow-up intensive to solidify and deepen results.
Benefits of Couple Intensives
The Gottman Method of couple therapy is renowned for its research-proven effectiveness in improving couple relationships. Couple intensives founded on the Gottman Method involve setting aside larger chunks of time for focused therapy, allowing you to work intensively on your relationship issues over the course of several hours per day.
Research supports the superiority of these intensives over traditional weekly sessions in several key areas.
Research Insights
The Gottman Method predicts marital success with up to 94% accuracy (Gottman, Levenson; 1999). This predictive power underscores the method’s robustness, which is further amplified in an intensive format. A study by Shapiro and Gottman (2005) revealed that couples undergoing intensive therapy showed greater improvements in relationship satisfaction and communication skills compared to those in standard weekly therapy.
The extended, immersive nature of an OASIS couple intensive allows for a comprehensive exploration of relationship dynamics, enabling you to address deep-seated issues without the interruption of weekly intervals. This continuous engagement fosters sustained momentum, critical for achieving significant breakthroughs in relational therapy.
