Does This Sound Familiar?

You're successful professionals who've mastered complex challenges at work—yet your relationship feels stuck in patterns you can't break.

Here's the truth: Your relationship isn't broken. Your attachment systems are doing exactly what they're designed to do—protect you from emotional danger.

  • The Same Arguments, Different Day

    You have the same conversations over and over, each one ending with more distance between you. Logic doesn't work. Good intentions don't stick. The cycle continues.

  • Emotional Disconnection

    You're living like roommates rather than lovers. The intimacy you once shared has been replaced by polite distance or sharp words.

  • Trigger Reactions

    Small interactions explode into big fights. You find yourself saying things you don't mean, reacting in ways that don't match who you are elsewhere.

  • Walking on Eggshells

    Your home doesn't feel like a safe space anymore. You're careful about what you say, when you say it, and how your partner might react.

  • Exhausting Mental Load

    You're tired of analyzing every interaction, wondering what went wrong, and feeling responsible for managing both your emotions and theirs.

  • Lost Hope

    You're starting to wonder if this is just how relationships are—if the connection you dreamed of is actually possible, or if you're fooling yourself.

The Missing Piece: Attachment Science

After 14 years helping couples transform their relationships, I've learned that lasting change happens when we work WITH your attachment system instead of against it.

Most approaches fail because they try to solve emotional problems with logical solutions. They teach communication skills without addressing the underlying emotional patterns that hijack those skills the moment you're triggered.

The Relationship Intensive Workshop is different. We start with understanding how your unique attachment styles create your specific relationship dance. Then we teach you to interrupt the pattern and create new emotional experiences that rewire your connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This is intensive education, not therapy. We focus on teaching you the science of relationships and giving you practical tools you can implement immediately. It's structured learning with your peers rather than individual therapy sessions.

  • All exercises are designed to protect privacy while maximizing learning. You'll work primarily with your partner, with group discussions focused on general patterns rather than personal details. Confidentiality agreements ensure a safe learning environment.

  • If you're both willing to invest in understanding your patterns and learning new skills, the workshop can be valuable. However, if separation discussions are active or one partner has already decided to leave, individual discovery sessions might be more appropriate first.

  • Yes, workshop participants receive priority booking for individual couples sessions, advanced workshops, and access to our couples support community. Many couples choose to schedule a follow-up session 6-8 weeks later to review progress and refine their skills.
