INDIVIDUAL INTENSIVES

Since the pandemic, we have found that our clients needs have become more acute than ever before. To support the demand for our specialized services, we now offer up to 10-Day intensives to ensure our individuals get the intensive healing they desire.

We recognize that each person’s life experience is unique. How ones Neurodifferent traits as well as mental health issues presents is different depending on each person. Therefore, each of our intensives are personalized to fit each person or couples’ needs.

Individuals who are referred to our program for an intensive have various issues that may include:

Various forms of trauma including: PTSD, neglect, childhood sexual abuse, betrayal trauma, and dissociation, all of which impacts one’s relationships and daily functioning.
Failed attempts to achieve sobriety from out of control sexual behavior (including but not limited to sex with strangers, viewing CSEM, sex chatting with minors, sex with prostitutes, chronic affairs), alcohol or various substances, compulsive, illegal sexual behavior.
Wanting support with understanding their neurodifferences(Autism, ADD, ADHD, Schizo-Affective, Stroke, Bipolar, OCD, and more) as they heal from various intimacy, sex and relationship issues.
Growing up with narcissistic, detached, abusive, addicted and/or neglectful parents.
Experiencing chronic shame and a feeling of emotional dysregulation-that “something is inherently wrong with me.”
Struggling to find and maintain intimate relationships where they are able to commit to themselves and/or their partner from an authentic space.
Struggling with enmeshment and/or attachment injuries and wounding.
Feeling disconnected from their bodies and the wounded parts of themselves that have been ignored, abandoned and incredibly wounded.

COUPLES INTENSIVES

We currently offer up to 10-day couples intensives (including disclosure intensives) for couples seeking tools to re-establish trust, understand themselves and each other, improve their integrity, and attain a better non-sexual and sexual connection. Some couples come in hopes of healing from an intimate betrayal (e.g., disclosure and impact processes) while others come to improve their non-sexual and sexual relationship from a more authentic space. Still others come to learn effective communication and conflict resolution in their relationship where one partner is on the autism spectrum and the other is either autistic or allistic (not autistic).

Based on the specific issues the couple requests they address during an intensive, several of our clinical members as well as our holistic practitioners will be involved during a couples intensive process.
