Getting the Love You Want – A Couples Workshop

Do you want to make your dream relationship a reality?

What if we told you that you have everything in your couple-hood to achieve this and that all you need is a codebook, the right tools, and the knowledge of how to use them? This transformative weekend intensive is based on the work of Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. and the best-selling book, Getting the Love You Want. It demystifies relationships while teaching couples skills to function at an optimum level in their relationship. This workshop is considered to be the equivalent of seven months of couples therapy.

Everything we have done with Karen Olson and Imago has been transformative. We have already accomplished more in 3 months than we have in 14 years. Karen did a great job of making every person feel engaged and heard, which is very difficult in a group setting.

The format of the workshop includes lectures, demonstrations, guided imagery, couple’s dialogue, and written exercises. There are opportunities for group sharing, but the workshop emphasizes partners sharing privately with one another.

These workshops are kept small (5 couples average) to create a safe and relaxed environment.  There is ample space for couples to have six feet or more of empty space around them.  Held in a classroom with four windows that are kept open, participants will enjoy good ventilation during didactic presentations and can do most of the experiential exercises outside or in a private room with their partner.  
 
With the exception of a brief introduction and closing ceremony, participants will not be prompted to share anything with the group unless they choose to do so. The workshop is welcoming and safe for ALL kinds of couples.
