Couples Rapid Transformation Experience
Relationships can be our greatest source of comfort and sometimes our deepest source of pain. Even couples with a strong foundation can find themselves stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, feeling like the same fights or silences keep repeating. You may love each other deeply but still feel disconnected, misunderstood, or emotionally unsafe with each other.
For some, traditional weekly couples counseling doesn’t feel like enough. It can take half a session just to warm up, and by the time you start getting somewhere, the clock is up. The Couples Rapid Transformation Experience offers a different path an immersive, concentrated approach that allows us to go deeper in a shorter period of time, addressing the roots of conflict, disconnection, or indecision instead of just managing the symptoms.
This isn’t about rushing you. It’s about creating the right conditions for both of your nervous systems, minds, and hearts to process what’s been stuck, repair what’s been broken, and integrate new ways of relating. We slow down enough to go deep, and we give you the space to practice new patterns in real time together.
Who This Is For
The Couples Rapid Transformation Experience is designed for partners who:
Keep finding themselves in repetitive arguments or cycles of disconnection that leave you feeling unheard or unloved
Are working to rebuild after infidelity, betrayal, or a breach of trust and want a structured, compassionate space for repair
Struggle with emotional distance, low intimacy, or feeling more like roommates than romantic partners
Want to learn communication skills that don’t just stop fights but actually create closeness and understanding
Are carrying attachment wounds, moral injury, or trauma histories that show up in your relationship in ways you may not fully realize
Have sexual concerns low desire, sexual pain, performance anxiety, intimacy challenges or are navigating problematic sexual behaviors, sexual compulsions, or betrayal recovery in a non-shaming, guided environment
Feel like your relationship has lost its spark and want to intentionally rebuild connection, trust, and teamwork
Have tried couples therapy before but want an approach that blends relationship science, trauma healing, and nervous system work
Are feeling uncertain about marriage, commitment, or other big relationship decisions such as moving in together, starting a family, relocating, or separating and want support in navigating fears, values, and future planning before making a choice
Why Couples Get Stuck
It’s normal for couples to hit difficult seasons. Sometimes life stress, service-related experiences, trauma, or old relational wounds create patterns neither partner knows how to change. Underneath the fights or the silence is often a longing to feel safe, valued, and emotionally connected. But when your nervous systems are in a constant state of defense, it’s hard to reach for each other without triggering old pain.
That’s why approaches like the Gottman Method are so powerful. They help you see the patterns you’re in, understand the deeper needs and fears driving them, and create new ways of interacting that restore connection and trust. When combined with body-based trauma therapy, these changes become more than just “communication skills” they become embodied habits you can rely on, even when life is hard.
How It Works
We begin with a thorough couples assessment that looks at your relationship history, strengths, challenges, and hopes for the future. From there, I design a personalized intensive that may include:
Gottman Method interventions for communication, conflict resolution, trust repair, and shared meaning
Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR to address past relational trauma and attachment injuries
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, and IFS/Ego States work for deeper emotional healing
Hypnotherapy, ERP, or I-CBT when needed to address intimacy barriers, anxiety, or behavioral patterns
Body-based regulation tools to help both partners stay present and engaged during difficult conversations
Sessions are offered in extended blocks or multi-day intensives so you can make significant progress without the limitations of a short weekly session. You’ll also leave with a tailored plan and tools to continue practicing and integrating what you’ve learned.
What Transformation Can Look Like
Clearer, calmer, and more productive conversations even in moments of conflict
A renewed sense of emotional closeness and intimacy
Repair after betrayal, with a concrete path toward trust
The ability to address sensitive topics without escalating or shutting down
Sexual connection that feels safe, enjoyable, and aligned with both partners’ needs
Confidence in navigating big relationship decisions with clarity instead of fear
A relationship that feels like a source of support, not another source of stress
Who I Am
I’m Sasha a trauma therapist, veteran, and former first responder. My advanced training in the Gottman Method and multiple trauma-focused modalities allows me to work with couples at both the emotional and nervous system level. I understand how stress, service, and unhealed wounds can show up in relationships and how, with the right tools and support, couples can reconnect, rebuild, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
You don’t have to keep having the same fight. You don’t have to keep feeling alone in your relationship or stuck in uncertainty about its future. Together, we’ll create an experience that helps you both understand each other more deeply, communicate more openly, and feel more connected than you have in years.
Couples Rapid Transformation Experience – FAQ
Who could benefit from the Couples Rapid Transformation Experience?
The Couples Rapid Transformation Experience is for partners who are ready to make meaningful, lasting progress in their relationship in a focused, intentional way especially if you’ve tried traditional weekly couples therapy and still feel like you’re circling the same issues without resolution.
You may benefit if you and your partner:
Are caught in repetitive arguments or long stretches of emotional distance
Are recovering from infidelity, betrayal, or breaches of trust and need structured, compassionate support to repair and rebuild
Feel more like co-parents, roommates, or business partners than romantic partners and want to reignite closeness and intimacy
Are navigating sexual challenges low desire, sexual pain, performance anxiety, intimacy struggles or addressing problematic sexual behaviors, sexual compulsions, or betrayal recovery in a non-shaming space
Are carrying attachment wounds, moral injury, or past trauma that make closeness, vulnerability, or trust difficult
Are in high-stress roles (military, veterans, first responders, healthcare providers, high-achieving professionals) where the demands of work have drained the relationship of time and emotional energy
Are feeling uncertain about marriage, commitment, or major relationship decisions such as whether to move in together, start a family, relocate, or separate and want guided support to explore fears, values, and possibilities before making a choice
It’s important to remember: these struggles don’t mean your relationship is broken. Most couples are not failing they’re stuck in patterns that once served to protect them but now create distance. These patterns are often fueled by deeper emotional needs, nervous system responses to stress, and past hurts. With the right environment, tools, and guided conversations, those patterns can change.
What makes the Couples Rapid Transformation Experience different from traditional couples therapy?
Traditional couples counseling often takes place in 50-minute sessions, which can be useful for maintenance or slow, steady progress but for many couples, it means spending a large part of the session warming up and running out of time before real breakthroughs happen. This can be frustrating, especially when big decisions, deep hurts, or high-stakes changes are on the table.
The Couples Rapid Transformation Experience offers extended or multi-day sessions so you have the space to:
Slow down enough to truly understand the patterns driving your conflict or disconnection
Work through these patterns with an attachment-based approach that helps you and your partner see and change the emotional dance that keeps you stuck
Apply Gottman Method research-based tools for improving communication, repairing trust, reducing conflict, and building shared meaning
Integrate trauma-informed, body-based work such as Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and Brainspotting when past pain is fueling present dynamics
Practice new ways of connecting in real time so you leave with not just insight, but actual lived experiences of doing it differently
Because the intensive is customized to your relationship, we focus on what matters most to you whether that’s repairing trust, reigniting intimacy, making a major decision together, or building skills to navigate conflict in a healthier way.
How do we know if we’re ready for the Couples Rapid Transformation Experience?
You might be ready if:
You’re both willing to engage in the process, even if one of you is feeling more hopeful than the other
You want to address root causes rather than apply short-term fixes
You’re open to exploring the emotional and nervous system patterns beneath your conflicts
You can commit time, focus, and emotional energy to concentrated work
You have enough stability in your lives to lean into relationship repair or decision making (meaning you’re not in the middle of an active crisis or unsafe situation)
You’re facing big relationship decisions such as whether to marry, commit more deeply, start a family, relocate, or separate and want guided support to make those choices from a place of clarity and understanding rather than fear or reactivity
You don’t have to feel “100% ready” or confident before starting most couples arrive with a mix of hope, fear, and uncertainty. My role is to help pace the work, provide structure, and guide you both in navigating even the most difficult conversations with compassion and curiosity.
If you’re unsure, we can start with a consultation to explore your relationship history, the patterns you’re noticing, and the vision you have for your future together. From there, we’ll decide if the Couples Rapid Transformation Experience is the right next step.
FAQs
-
Absolutely. Many of my weekly couples choose to schedule a Rapid Transformation Experience when they want to make a concentrated leap forward whether they’re preparing for a big life decision, working through a stuck point, or simply wanting to deepen their connection more quickly.
For current clients, intensives are available in modified formats and with adjusted pricing, since we’ve already built a foundation together. This means we can move into deeper work more quickly, customize the structure around your ongoing therapy plan, and integrate what we accomplish in the intensive into your regular weekly sessions for lasting results.
If you’re curious whether adding a Rapid Transformation Experience to your current work is the right next step, we can talk about your goals, the timing, and what format would best fit your relationship.
-
It depends on your goals and what your relationship needs right now.
Some couples choose to start with a Rapid Transformation Experience because it allows them to make significant progress quickly addressing core patterns, repairing trust, and learning practical tools they can begin using immediately. This can be especially helpful if you’re facing a big decision, are in a high-stress season, or feel like you can’t wait months to see meaningful change. After the intensive, some couples continue with regular sessions to deepen and maintain the progress they’ve made.
Other couples begin with weekly therapy to build a foundation and gradually work toward deeper topics. Later, they add a Rapid Transformation Experience to break through stuck points or accelerate growth. In these cases, the intensive builds on the trust and understanding we’ve already developed together.
Both paths work it’s really about your timeline, your comfort level, and how quickly you want to move toward change. We can talk through the options during a consultation to help you decide which starting point will serve you best.
-
Yes. Some couples come to a Rapid Transformation Experience while continuing their work with a primary therapist. You may feel that you’ve made progress gaining insight, understanding your patterns, and building some tools yet something deeper still feels stuck. Perhaps you can name the issues, but your nervous systems and emotional patterns haven’t shifted enough to create lasting change.
A Couples Rapid Transformation Experience can serve as adjunct therapy, giving you and your partner the space for concentrated, experiential work that addresses the body-based, attachment, and relational layers often left untouched in traditional talk therapy. This isn’t about replacing your current therapist it’s about complementing and accelerating the work you’re already doing.
During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your current therapy, your goals for the intensive, and the best format to integrate this experience alongside your ongoing work. With your consent, I can also collaborate with your primary therapist to ensure the intensive supports and aligns with your overall treatment.

A half-day Couples Rapid Transformation Experience offers a concentrated burst of progress that can create meaningful shifts in a short amount of time. In just a few hours, we can help you and your partner:
Break through a stuck point that’s been blocking connection
Learn and practice new communication skills in real time
Address a single-event rupture such as a recent betrayal, major argument, or life stressor that’s left lingering hurt or distance
Process distressing emotions, physical tension, and body-based reactions that arise during conflict or intimacy
Strengthen emotional connection and clarity before making an important relationship decision
For some couples, a half-day intensive can boost confidence, strengthen teamwork, and provide immediate relief from the cycle of misunderstanding or defensiveness. It can also help address the overwhelming effects of a recent relational trauma or crisis, such as infidelity disclosure, a major life change, or an intense conflict.
While substantial progress is possible in a single half-day, deeper or more complex issues such as rebuilding after long-term disconnection, healing chronic patterns of conflict, or addressing trauma histories often benefit from a more extensive format. Many couples choose to incorporate half-day intensives monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly as part of their ongoing relationship work, giving them a regular opportunity to address challenges before they build up again.
During your consultation, we’ll talk about your goals and whether a half-day, full-day, or multi-day format will give you the best opportunity for the results you’re seeking.

A 3-day Couples Rapid Transformation Experience provides the time, space, and depth needed to address long-standing patterns, repair significant ruptures, and create lasting changes in how you and your partner relate to each other. Over the course of these days whether on weekdays or as a weekend retreat you’ll have the opportunity to:
Explore and understand the deeper attachment patterns and nervous system responses driving conflict or disconnection
Repair trust breaches, betrayals, or recurring hurts with structured, compassionate guidance
Learn and practice EFT-based emotional connection skills and Gottman Method communication tools that you can use immediately
Address the body-based and trauma-related barriers that keep certain conversations, emotions, or intimacy from feeling safe
Rebuild emotional closeness and intimacy with space for real-time practice and integration
Clarify shared values, commitments, and next steps especially if you’re navigating major life decisions like marriage, moving in together, starting a family, relocation, or separation
For some couples, a 3-day intensive feels like a turning point a chance to leave with a renewed sense of closeness, clarity, and teamwork. This format is especially valuable if you’re working through Complex PTSD, moral injury, chronic relationship stress, or layered betrayal, as it allows us to move beyond surface repair and into deep, sustained transformation.
While substantial progress can happen in these three days, many couples choose to continue integrating their gains with monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly half-day refreshers or follow-up sessions, ensuring the changes take root and grow stronger over time.
During your consultation, we’ll explore your relationship’s unique needs and decide whether a 3-day weekday or weekend format will best support your goals.
