Short-term intensive work

Terri Delaney is offering short-term intensive work for individuals, couples and families. Short-term work intensives involve 20 hours work focused on

The Intensive model is different from traditional therapy or coaching because you focus on shifts you want to make in one or two major areas of your life. For example, some people have come in wanting to not yell at their kids anymore, some have come in wanting to learn self-compassion, wanting to set boundaries at work, and some come in wanting to have connection with others after having spent a ton of time closed off.  

You will spend your first two hour session getting clear on what you want to shift in your Intensive, and discovering what inner subconscious structures may be holding the behavior or feeling state in place. If you've been in therapy before, you might have noticed that about 20-30 minutes of your weekly therapy is usually taken up with reconnecting with your therapist and catching them up on everything that has been happening up to now. With the Intensive format, no time is spent doing that because the sessions are longer and spaced closely together. When you do the math, 20 hours of therapy in an Intensive is equal to about 40 regular hours of therapy. That's 10 months of therapy in just a few weeks..  Usually we meet for 4-5 hour blocks for the first 2-3 meetings, then continue with 2 hour sessions until the time is complete. 

My couples training is in Relational Life Therapy (certified facilitator), Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO - based on IFS, I am staff trainer) and Self-Trust and Integrated Resilience - STAIR (certified).  I combine these approaches to bring neurobiologically informed treatment to the couples and families that I see. It turns out that when people understand their underlying neurobiology and trauma histories, they can begin to consciously make thoughtful choices about how to respond to their partner.
