Marathon Couples Therapy
What is Marathon Couples Therapy?
Marathon Therapy is an intensive treatment modality tailored specifically for couples who are interested in repairing or enhancing their relationship with the support and guidance of a relationship expert over the course of a few longer sessions of 4-6 hours.
What are the benefits?
- In traditional marital and couples therapy, sessions are only 50-120 minutes long in duration. Especially if there has been recent trauma or there are complex challenges in the relationship, you may find that you’re just starting to dive into an important relationship issue when it is time to wrap up the session. This disrupts the therapeutic process leaving all parties feeling frustrated. With marathon therapy, we carve out the necessary time to really talk things through and to re-establish an emotional connection and mutual understanding before the time ends.
- Rather than spreading out weekly sessions over the course of 3-6 months or sometimes even longer, you can experience more immediate relationship results instead of waiting for the process to unfold over an extended period of time.
- Marathon therapy accommodates couples with full schedules who are unable to carve out 2-3 hours each week (travel time + therapy time) to participate in weekly couple’s therapy.
- Marathon therapy provides a powerful treatment option for long distance couples who reside in different cities
