I. STANDARD SESSIONS
Description: Our
standard sessions last two full hours. We meet with couples as a
husband and wife team thus bringing the perspectives of both sexes
into the session. The approach includes training and coaching in
proven tools to enhance marital intimacy – spiritually, emotionally,
and physically – as well as counseling for a couple’s specific
issues.
II.
EXTENDED SESSIONS
Description: Often a
couple will be struggling with an issue that needs immediate care to
prevent it from becoming more volatile or result in separation or
considerations of divorce. They cannot prolong their current
situation over a matter of weeks, so we offer extended, four-hour
sessions in order to accelerate the progress towards resolution and
healing.
III.
FULL DAY SESSIONS
Description: These
eight-hour sessions include lunch. As in the case of all extended
sessions, the full-day coaching and counseling appointment
accelerates the progress the couple can make in changing the
patterns of their marriage. Experiential exercises play a key role
in helping the couple to move the tools and process from their heads
to their hearts so that they leave the session with new
perspectives.
IV.
MINI-INTENSIVES
Description:
Mini-Intensives must be scheduled well in advance. The couple meets
with Gary and Elvira over two days. This approach has proven very
effective for a variety of situations, including those couples who
have reached a crisis point in their relationship or those seeking a
safe counseling environment away from home.
V.
PRE-INTENSIVE SESSION - WINSHAPE RETREAT CENTER
Description: These special sessions are held in partnership with the Center for
Relational Care, Austin, TX, to lay the foundation for couples who
have registered to attend the four-day Marriage Intensive at the WinShape Retreat Center in Rome, GA. The Pre-Intensive Session
provides the couple with the prerequisite exposure to the principles
of Intimacy Therapy that is required for participation in the
four-day program and greatly enhances the experience and benefit of
the intensive.
