COUPLES WORKSHOP
Realize your relationship’s potential and learn to turn challenges into connection and healing
A four WEEK GUIDED PROCESS FOR COUPLES
"Working with Hannah for couples therapy with my partner has been PRICELESS to our relationship, and one of the main reasons my partner and I are still in relationship. I highly recommend her for couples therapy. She creates a safe space for him and I to talk openly and express freely our feelings, reactions, and stories we make up about each other, ourselves, and our relationship.” -CT
The problem: How do we get from good to great?
Invitations to grow might be showing up as…
Feeling disconnected, unappreciated, resentful or like there’s stuff your partner just “does’t get.”
Worrying that your needs and personalities are too different.
Feeling frustrated with the same old resentments coming up and rehashing the past.
Struggling to talk about touchy subjects without fighting or avoiding communication for fear of making it worse.
Missing the old romantic and sexual spark.
Falling into the shaming and blaming even though you know it doesn’t work.
Feeling like your needs aren’t being met or that your partner’s needs are overwhelming.
Judging your partner as being checked out or unengaged, or as critical, needy or impossible to please.
Having fights that escalate pretty quick and getting “emotional hangovers.”
Finding it hard to prioritize your relationship.
Struggling to feel like you are 100% on the same team.
The solution:
I help you turn this all around by…
Expanding your awareness of exactly how and why challenges are showing up.
Guiding you through a specific process to clean up resentments past and present.
Teaching you the simple straightforward tools to alchemize conflict into connection.
Giving you the specific tools to deal with conflict confidently and lovingly.
Cultivating a deep sense of your relationship’s soul purpose.
“She (Hannah) has given me the support and tools to be a better partner and individual. Hannah provides a safe environment for me to bring to forth all facets of my personality and relationship. I'm forever grateful for her help, empathy and sincerity.” -Client
The outcome:
A united front and have the tools to feel connected, loved and understood.
Feeling confident and proud of your relationship.
Being pros at meeting and communicating needs without shame and blame.
Connection, spark and chemistry.
Knowing exactly what to do to diffuse a fight and what to do if you feel ignored or smothered.
Trusting that you have each other’s backs, are on the same team and are each other’s number one.
Awakening to your relationship’s soul purpose.
Each week includes a deep dive session focussed on the following topics:

Relationship Alchemy: the tailored to you tools to diffuse any fight and turn conflict into connection.
A spiritual perspective on your relationship.

What we will do:

Uncover you and your partners “operating systems” and nervous system styles.
Unlock your superpower to diffuse any fight and alchemize conflict into connection.
Discover how and why your strengths and challenges make you soul mates.

How we will do it:
Experiential exercises
Homework in between sessions
Why it works so well:
We use combination of “bottom up” and “top down” methods that harness the mind body connection to create embodied transformation.
We work with attachment (how you are wired to love) to create interventions that heal relationships at the roots.
We work with your neurobiology to understand how your brain is responding to threat and how to create safety.
We create a safe place for you and your partner to explore.
This process is for you if…
You want concrete take aways and tools to practice.
You want to get a lot of work done in a shorter amount of time.
You want and are ready to let go of blame and shame.
Are fully committed to your relationship and want to grow together.
Want the tools to communicate safely and effectively around difficult topics.
Identify with having anxious or avoidant attachment styles.
Want to celebrate your differences without threatening the relationship.
This process is not for you if…
You are not committed to your partnership.
You or your partner are active in addiction to substances.
You or your partner are dealing with any symptoms of severe mental illness right now.
You are experiencing domestic violence.
You are trying to heal from an affair or actively engaging in an affair/breaking agreements.
Don’t want to do some work in between sessions.
“Hannah's loving, heart-centered therapy has created a safe place for us to express without feeling afraid or as reactive, and we are able to discuss the elephant under the rug, fears in the relationship, insecurities, hurt feelings, desires, our boundaries, and bottom lines. We also can express our love, inspiration, and desires for our connection and ways of being in relationship." - Client
