Every couple’s therapy process with Dr. Ryan, whether it’s hour-by-hour or in intensive blocks of time, will go through this same essential process:
- Review the completed assessments that you’ve done before our session.
- Complete an in-depth interview that helps your therapist, and each partner, understand the root causes of your current situation.
- Get education on self- and other assessments using Jennifer’s TEA Method.
- Learn how to speak, hear, and be different from your partner by utilizing the CALM Connecting procedure (a process created by Dr. Jen).
- And finally, practice being in a dyadic conversation with your partner where you’ll be coached line-by-line on how to hear and say things differently in a partner in a way that gets your emotional needs met.
