Love Isn’t Enough: Is Intensive Couples Therapy Right For You?

Dr. John Schinnerer & Joree Rose, LMFT

Join Joree and I in an in-depth conversation about our experience in intensive couples therapy (i.e., 2 six-hour days of therapy with Charlie & Linda Bloom!). We also go into our belief that intensives are a much more effective means to create positive, lasting change than the traditional 1 hour, once-a-week sessions.

If you are someone that:

1. recognizes the distressing accumulation of hurts, annoyances & frustrations in your relationship, 
2. has found traditional couples therapy to be less than effective, or 
3. has never even considered couples therapy but desire a loving, supportive, thriving relationship,…then this episode is for you. 

Questions addressed in this one:

After significant relationship issues arise, how long do people typically wait before trying couples counseling?

What are some of the differences between traditional one-hour-a-week couples therapy vs. intensive couples therapy?

How to be clear on what is your individual work and what is your relational work?

How do we get men more comfortable with entering into couples counseling?

How can we make therapy more effective for men?

What is the role of curiosity and nonjudgmentalness in effective arguing?

How can effective couples therapy lead to the secure attachment you’ve always wanted?

All this and more, in this episode of The Evolved Caveman podcast!
