Fostering Deep Connection: A Couples' Journey

Deepen Intimacy. Strengthen Bonds. Cultivate Love.

Relationships are an intricate dance of connection, trust, and communication. At Being Free Together, we offer a ​comprehensive counseling program designed to help couples cultivate deeper, more authentic connections. Fostering ​Deep Connection is your pathway to a fulfilling and impactful partnership.

Why Join Fostering Deep Connection?

In today’s fast-paced world, couples often struggle to maintain intimacy, trust, and open communication. This program ​offers a structured approach to relationship growth, helping you and your partner redefine what it means to be deeply ​connected, authentic, and empowered.

Program Overview

Our program integrates therapeutic, relational, and spiritual techniques, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), ​Internal Family Systems (IFS), Imago Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Attachment Theory. We focus on physical, ​spiritual, emotional, and intellectual intimacy, clarifying boundaries, roles, and needs, and identifying expectations and ​desires in each partner.

Exploring Attachment and Connection

We draw on the five pillars of attachment to foster a sense of felt safety, attunement, soothing, expressed delight, and ​support in growth and attainment. Understanding that people can have avoidant, insecure, and secure attachment ​patterns simultaneously, our program integrates these aspects into a secure and harmonious relationship dynamic.

Key Areas for Exploration

Do you feel like you withhold your truth in your relationship?

Are you afraid of punishment, abandonment, loss of connection, withdrawal, or hurting your partner if you attempt ​honesty?

Do you feel like you are always doing things to please your partner but end up ignoring your own needs?

Do you want to run away from conflict or even from closeness or intimacy?

Do parts of you convince you that other things are more important?

Do you find your mind racing and spend lots of time in self-consciousness anticipating what your partner will say and ​planning how you will respond?

Do you feel like you don't know how you will react to your partner?

Do you feel like your reactions are out of proportion to your partner's behavior, or vice versa?

Do you have trouble acknowledging your own feelings or your partner's feelings?

Do you or your partner jump to blame, anger, fear, withdrawal, dissociation, frustration, hopelessness, or despair often in ​your relationship?
