Couple Feeding Birds

 

The One Couple Workshop


    The One Couple Workshop is a private counseling experience that offers you education, skill building and insight into the secrets of sustaining a loving, intimate relationship with your spouse or spouse-to-be. 

Different from other marriage preparation courses:   

    The One Couple Workshop differs dramatically from the typical marriage preparation course by taking you safely and gently into the deeper levels of your relationship, where the source of issues as a couple lie. With the benefit of Ms. Reichlin's professional guidance and use of the Imago Dialogue, most couples will complete this "workshop" with a far deeper understanding of their partner than many couples experience in a lifetime together. 

    The benefit?  Equipped with an understanding of each other's deepest needs, plus a powerful tool to keep communication flowing, couples are significantly better prepared to deal with the inevitable bumps along the marital highway.

The Sessions:

     Your private "workshop" will be approximately 12-13 hours long, divided into four sessions (see below). The second session is a mini-marathon day requiring you to be available over a 6 hr period of time.  (Some Saturdays are available for this segment.)  The timing of sessions will vary depending upon your schedule.  The first two sessions need to be fairly close together; the final two can be as much as a month apart. 

The Content:

      This course centers around the best of Imago Relationship Therapy, one of the only therapeutic models ever designed for the sole purpose of helping couples create successful committed love relationships. Additionally, the work of other leaders in the field today are integrated for a comprehensive learning experience.

 How Your Time Will Be Spent:
 

   
   
      Of the 12-13 hours, approximately 9 will be spent working with Barbara, 2.5 will be working on your own during our marathon day, with an additional hour or so needed for administrative tasks such as receiving homework instructions, scheduling, etc.

These 12 - 13 hours are in addition to homework time, which, on average, will amount to about an hour-and-a-half between sessions.  Since meetings will likely occur weeks apart, you should have ample time to complete all assignments.

Payment:  Half ($900) due at end of first session.  Balance due at end of marathon day. Cash or check.
