____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This form is an application and, if accepted, will serve as your registration as well.
If needed, I will conduct screenings with folks I don't know to assess for goodness of fit.
This form is designed to be completed by both folks in the couple, and should take ~ 10 minutes to complete.
Completion of this form is a required step, AND it does not guarantee you a spot in the series.
Basic Series Details➡️ Meets Fridays in June, from 1-3p Eastern / 10a-12p Pacific
➡️ Dates: June 9, 16, 23, 30
➡️ Series commitment (no drop-ins), limited to 8 couples
➡️ Meets virtually - open to participants from anywhere
➡️ For queer and trans couples, including long distance and open/poly/ENM*
*While this space seeks to be inclusive to those who are in open / poly / ENM relationships, the experience itself is designed to support a dyad (two individuals).
More Details
Utilizing experiential, didactic, and somatic approaches, this series will explore:
- Attachment and Attunement
- Nervous System basics including Self- and Co-regulation
- Strategies for better conflict and repair
- Increasing connection, intimacy, and relationship satisfaction
- How cis partners can support trans and gender expansive partners
- Tools for navigating power dynamics in relationship including race, gender identity, trauma history, class, documentation status, etc.
Commitment
I'm enrolling up to 8 couples in this series and it is my hope that you can all join for all parts. It will be cumulative in the sense that we will be building a container - and our capacity - over time. Life happens, so of course if you end up having to miss a session, we'll miss you...and will welcome you back whenever you can rejoin.
Note that I expect all registrants to pay the full cost of the series, even if you cannot or do not make all sessions.
What this series IS:
- A space offering information to help queer and trans individuals and couples thrive
- A space to learn and practice somatic tools for self- and co-regulation
- A space to build community and kinship
- A space to help individuals and couples discern what additional support and resources they might need to feel safer, healthier, and better
What this series ISN'T:
- Individual, Couples, or Group therapy
- Trauma therapy
- A conflict resolution space - A place to navigate "live," intense or active conflict
- A place to “drop bombs” on your partner - no big reveals please!
