Driving home after a marriage counseling session can be very painful. Unfortunately leaving the appointment without resolution can create more anger and hopelessness.
Sometimes couples just need a "re-set" instead of arguing about past arguments. Could it be you just need to be trained in communication and connection because you never experienced how to be married before? 85% of problems in marriage were brought into the marriage.
Are You Emotionally Divorced?
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist* with extensive experience in helping couples navigate their challenges. Since 2005 I've been offering marriage counseling intensives. What I've realized is that sometimes marriage counseling makes couples even more discouraged! Because of my passion to help couples regain the hopes and dreams they originally had for their marriage, I'm offering an online training to couples at no charge.
Couples don't need counseling! They need to learn how to be married because many have never had an example of a healthy marriage.

Relationship Recovery
As a Licensed Therapist, I have 100's of hours of professional training, However, I believe the best preparation for helping others with relationship recovery is surviving an abusive relationship and living to see your own life thrive after the experience. Unless you've lived through a destructive relationship, it can be hard to understand what it's iike to actually go through the process of relationship recovery. Others don't understand why we "don't just leave, get over it and get on with our lives."

In 2012 I began my quest for understanding trauma and also to find ways to help clients needing freedom. I took every course on trauma I could find. In 2016 I began putting the pieces together and through the process of prayer and study, the EMET trauma resolution protocol was born. The main concept of this healing is the fact that we don't have to address each trauma memory. Trauma creates a pattern of reactivity. With intentional prayer and letting the body tell the story, the EMET trauma resolution system identifies something I've labeled the "False Refuge System" created by trauma. Emet Trauma Resolution disengages the reactive pattern caused by the trauma.
In my personal life and in my career I've seen the many faces of failed marriages along with the tears from individuals with traumatic experiences. It is my prayer for Christian marriages to have a victorious marriage and ultimately for individuals to reclaim their freedom from past wounding that blocks their belief that they are "God's Masterpiece, created in Christ to do good works."(Eph 2:10 NIV).
