Safe Haven Marriage Intensives

WE ARE NOW OFFERING INTENSIVES IN-PERSON AND VIA ZOOM  

FROM THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME YOU CAN EXPERIENCE AN INTENSIVE SEMINAR

IN-PERSON OR VIRTUALLY WITH EITHER SHARON MAY OR ALAN HART 

​

​

   THE SAFE HAVEN MARRIAGE INTENSIVE is a chance for couples to heal long standing hurts, understand their destructive arguing cycle, begin a healing journey to emotionally re-connected and once again (often for the first time) experience each other as a safe haven.  The intensives are private with one couple and one leader, so you benefit from the personalized experience.

​​

   The Safe Haven Intensives are able to get to ‘the heart of the issues’ and begin making sense of and healing a very negative marriage relationship. Most couples say the intensive is different to any kind of couples work they have had previously.  The marriage intensives are based on attachment theory, the best of personal growth and Emotionally Focused Therapy interventions, the most effective model out there. 

​

   The Safe Haven Intensive gives a couple the much needed time and a safe place to share deep hurts, get to the core of what has shattered trust, process betrayals and gain a real understanding for each other.  Then begin to change the negative ways of relating and foster an emotionally connected marriage.

   The intensive format and unique model is powerful as couples are able to focus on their marriage for several days and gain understanding and healing that often takes months of counseling or coaching.  Weekly sessions are often more disruptive than helpful.  The intensive format enables a couple to stay in the healing process and journey as they go through all the steps without interruption.  Couples often stay hurt and disconnected when they don't need to as the intensive format is marriage-changing.  

​

​

   A couple meets privately, or one-on-one via Zoom with either Sharon May, Alan Hart or one of our well-trained, experienced leaders.  Our main office is in the beautiful beach community of Carlsbad (San Diego). Although every couple walks through the Safe Haven process, each intensive is personalized to the specific needs and crisis of the couple.  You can now experience the Safe Haven Intensive via Zoom - stay at home and transform your marriage.     

​​

Most couples come to the intensive feeling wounded and hopeless. Many are dealing with infidelity, betrayals, accumulated hurts, unresolved issues, distance, overwhelming differences and negative ways of dealing with difficult issues and frustration.

THE SAFE HAVEN INTENSIVE MODEL

   The Safe Haven Marriage Intensives are based on the most well-researched and highly successful marital therapy model of today, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). The model shows a 75% to 80% rate of change from distress to a safe haven and 90% rate of significant improvement.  The Safe Haven Relationship model integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy with attachment theory and neurobiology of arguing (with real life application and much humor), making the experience meaningful and marriage-changing. Although we can't guarantee your outcome, by attending an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or coaching based intensive you are giving your marriage the best care and chance possible.

HOPE FOR CHANGE

   If you feel stuck, disconnected and not sure if you and your spouse will ever heal hurts and enjoy each other again...the intensive is worth the investment, work and effort.  Or if you feel your marriage could be richer, deeper and needs a renewal, then the intensive will help take your marriage to a closer, more intimate place.  The intensive will help you foster a ‘safe haven marriage.’
