6 Step Programme for Couples in Crisis

I have established a six step programme for relationships in crisis which is suitable for couples facing a complete breakdown of intimacy and communication in their relationship as well as sexual dysfunction.

Identify the cause of the breakdown

The programme helps couples identify the cause of the breakdown and from there, I help them to re-build their relationship, trust, communication and intimacy.

Learn about love

The programme involves exercises for couples to do together which teaches both partners in the relationship how to be sensual and not sexual. It helps them to understand how they perceive love, and how to keep the ‘flame’ alive through different life stages including kids, mid-life, menopause and old age.

I find that when the intimacy in the relationship breaks down (the trust, the love, the compassion and the understanding), the sexual relationship also suffers.

Lack of intimacy leads to bitterness, resentment

When the sexual relationship suffers, it affects the partners physically, emotionally and mentally.

The result is often anger, bitterness and resentment – with relationships on the rocks.

Pursuer/distance cycle

One of the most common sexual intimacy issues is the pursuer/distancer cycle where the one partner has a much higher libido than the other.

The six step programme focuses on breaking this cycle, and helps couples “re-programme” their sex lives and rebuild the intimacy between them.
