Full Day Couples Healing Immersions - "CHI sessions"
Sometimes, 50 minutes once a week is simply not enough time for couples to resolve their issues. By the time the real issues begin to emerge, the session is up. These long sessions ensure that there is enough time available to explore the issues at the root of problem.
What is a CHI session?
A Couples Healing Immersion is a 6-hour, one-day intensive. CHI "intensive" sessions are focused, semi-structured private meetings between you, your partner, and myself in a neutral, stable, and compassionate environment. They are designed to transform and begin to heal the roots of difficult interpersonal issues head on and efficiently (with follow-ups as needed). Having a finite and focused amount of time motivates people, gets to the core issues faster, and expedites the process.
While CHI sessions are not a magic cure, they begin the transformation process in immediately noticeable ways. Their effectiveness depends on everyone's ability to show up, get involved, take risks and responsibility, and work toward resolving the issues in your relationship.
Take home Expert Relationship "Toolkit" included!
Extensive set of educational protocols, skills, resources, and worksheets included for every communication and rupture repair technique learned during your CHI session, so you can practice together at home.
Here is the schedule:
8:30 - 11:30 am: morning session, including breakout individual consults as needed.
11:30 - 12:30 pm: lunch break (on your own)
12:30 - 3:30 pm: afternoon session
CHI sessions are typically on either a Monday or a Friday. Weekend days are occasionally available, please inquire.
Please see "Contact, rates, location" page for fee information.
Follow-up support sessions
After your CHI session concludes, at least one follow-up session is recommended, but not required, to secure and strengthen the changes initiated during your CHI. Also, ongoing support is recommended to keep things on track and support communication skills, intimacy, and continued growth.

What are the benefits of a CHI?
- Time limited. One of the biggest benefits of the CHI sessions is their intense and time-limited design. Couples who are sincerely motivated to heal their issues naturally become more focused on solutions when they are aware that the time available is limited.
- Cost effective. Another benefit is the relative affordability of the intensive compared with sometimes slow pace of expensive, weekly psychotherapy.
- Solution oriented. We focus on the root causes of conflict, communication issues, and work specifically toward transforming your relationships from problem to growth and connection.
- Personal growth. Immersion sessions help you explore yourself, your relationship, and your conflict in new and transformative ways. The CHI process yields genuine growth and understanding. Your communication skills can improve dramatically as we examine old unproductive habits and replace them with new ones.
- Healing and reconnection. Together, we can get to the bottom of your situation by exploring your values, fears, emotions, hopes, disappointments, communication style, and the inner workings of your relationship (both spoken and unspoken). As we work together, you will begin to develop more mutual respect, compassion, authenticity, and personal resilience.
- Other relationships will improve. The growth, skills, and understand you will achieve through this process will be immediately useful to you in all relationships in your life.
