There were frequent arguments and complete emotional shut-downs. To make matters worse, there had been no physical intimacy for several weeks. Charlotte broke down into tears describing the disconnection. Finn quickly shut down not knowing what to do or say, with a look of real fear on his face.
This kind of 'we think we've "fallen out of love" couple' is actually my favorite to work with. Why? Because all that hurt, anger, frustration and tears, clearly indicates that underneath it all, a couple is actually still very deeply in love.
What I've discovered is that with a little help, these couples can quickly harness their frustrated, emotional needs to motivate quickly reconnecting with each other. All they have to do is plug those frustrated needs directly into re-building profound emotional and physical intimacy together.
