Couples Coaching

Intimacy From The Inside Out (IFIO) coaching is a specialized approach designed to nurture and strengthen emotional connections within relationships.

 

Using the principles of IFIO, I help couples who are healing from sexual betrayal to strengthen their bond, improve communication, and deepen intimacy. This work is generally done after a couple has completed the full therapeutic disclosure process and each person has begun their own individual work to heal from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma.

 

IFIO couples coaching offers numerous benefits, including:

​

• Enhanced Communication: IFIO improves the ability to express thoughts and emotions openly and empathetically.

​

• Deeper Emotional Bond: It fosters a stronger and more intimate connection between partners.

​

• Conflict Resolution: IFIO equips couples with effective tools for resolving conflicts and disputes constructively.

​

• Improved Self-Awareness: It encourages individuals to explore their inner selves and emotions, leading to a better understanding of their own needs and desires.

​

• Increased Empathy: IFIO enhances the capacity to empathize with one another's experiences and perspectives.

​

• Strengthened Trust: Partners can rebuild or fortify trust by delving into their emotional worlds and addressing underlying issues.

​

• Enhanced Sexual Intimacy: IFIO can improve sexual intimacy by addressing emotional barriers.

​

• Relational Growth: Couples can grow together, strengthening their relationship over time.

​

• Long-Term Relationship Success: IFIO equips couples with the tools and insights necessary for long-term relationship satisfaction.

​

• Personal and Relational Fulfillment: Ultimately, IFIO empowers individuals and couples to lead more satisfying and connected lives.
