Couples Counseling Intensives

A healthy step for you and your partner

Every long-term relationship feels strain at times, and couples often find themselves out of sync with one another. It doesn’t have to stay that way.

  • Do everyday conversations seem to turn instantly into bitter arguments, criticisms, defensiveness, or personal attacks?
  • Do you feel like you're spinning your wheels, that you never get anywhere on the important issues that divide you?
  • Do you avoid each other or certain conversations because you know nothing good ever comes from those conversations?
  • Do you no longer feel connected and wonder what happened to the intimacy you used to share?
  • Do you feel stuck and unsure if there is a way forward?
  • Are you afraid you are beginning to live like roommates or have you been living like roommates for years?
  • Do one or both of you take things personally more often than not?
  • Has the revelation of an affair turned you and your relationship upside down?

Relationships can be hard and often add to the pressures and stresses of life. Often, the most challenging first step is recognizing that you could benefit from some help. If you are looking for marriage/couples counseling in the Kansas City area, then the Kansas City Relationship Institute, LLC, is the place for you.

How Couples Counseling Intensives Work at the
Kansas City Relationship Institute, LLC

Overview

Our couples intensive programs are designed to give you a strong dose of marriage/couples counseling to get you and your partner back on track or jumpstart the counseling process. This is often seen as a concentrated version of traditional couples counseling.

The process requires you to take a step away from your day-to-day activities to focus on yourself and your relationship. These intensives last anywhere from 1 to 3 days allowing you and your partner dedicated time away to focus on your relationship, guided by one of our relationship experts.

Each day is broken down into one or two 2-3 hour sessions with breaks. We’ll typically begin by creating space for each of you to share your perspective, hopes, and frustrations related to your relationship concerns and to talk about how you may be contributing to the relationship challenges. We’ll also focus on:

  • Understanding the multiple factors that keep the conflict going.
  • Areas of personal growth that are required to build a better relationship.
  • Tools to help you manage yourself better when frustrated, sad, or triggered.
  • Tools to help you and your partner engage in more meaningful, impactful conversations.
  • Tools to rebuild friendship, intimacy, and connection.
