GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT — COUPLES WORKSHOP

A Transformational 2½-Day Weekend to Rebuild Connection, Safety & Desire

A private, guided couples workshop in Old Westbury

May 1–3 | Limited to a small number of couples

Rediscover Each Other. Repair What Hurts. Build the Relationship You Both Long For.

This is not group therapy.

You sit privately with your partner.

No forced public sharing.

No emotional chaos.

You are guided step-by-step through a structured dialogue process that transforms conflict into connection.

If You’re Considering Help — But Hesitating

This workshop may be right for you if:

• You feel stuck in the same recurring argument

• One of you shuts down while the other escalates

• You feel more like roommates than partners

• You’re afraid to bring up certain topics

• You’ve considered therapy or a workshop — but keep waiting

Waiting doesn’t make fear smaller. It makes distance larger.

What Actually Happens During the Workshop

Over two and a half days, you will:

• Identify your specific negative relational pattern

• Learn the Imago Dialogue process

• Practice listening without interruption

• Speak without attacking

• Regulate emotional flooding in real time

• Transform recurring conflict into understanding

Each day includes:

Short teaching segments

Private couple exercises

Real-time guidance and support

Structured. Contained. Practical. Not inspiration. Skill.

Why Couples Wait — And Why That Matters

Many couples hesitate because change feels destabilizing.

Even painful patterns become familiar.

You know how the argument goes.

You know who withdraws.

You know who pursues.

You know how long the silence lasts.

It hurts. But it’s predictable.

And the nervous system prefers predictable pain over unpredictable growth.

This workshop provides structure and containment so change does not feel chaotic — it feels guided.

What Changes Afterward

Couples leave with:

• A repeatable communication framework

• Greater emotional safety

• Reduced reactivity

• Clear tools for resolving conflict

• Renewed closeness grounded in understanding

You do not leave with more awareness alone.

You leave with a method you can continue using.

Before registering, you are invited to schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation.
