Couples Groups

For couples seeking to heal from the effects of sex addiction and co-addiction, Impulse Treatment Center offers both short- and long-term Couples Groups.

A short-term skills group teaches couples practical ways to create safety and intimacy.

An ongoing couples therapy group provides the opportunity to keep working on couple issues as they arise over time, using these new skills.

Both groups require that each partner be working on their individual recovery from addiction and co-addiction.

Both groups focus on the following concepts:

As partners, how are we different? How are we the same?
How do we create space for differences?
What is Respectful Conflict?
What did our families of origin teach us about relationships?
What are our communication styles?
How do we nurture our relationship?
How do we make amends to each other for breaks in honesty, safety and respect?
