Relationship Rescue: Intensive Counselling for Relationships
In a perfect world, couples would come for help long before one or both people have given up. However in the real world couples often exhaust all other avenues before seeking professional help. There are many reasons why this happens but often these couples need an intensive intervention immediately. The reason is that hope and tenderness are the most vital ingredients in helping a marriage survive. Without hope people become disheartened and find other ways to dull the pain. Without tenderness they damage their partner creating lasting wounds. In the last phases of relationships one person typically disconnects, and without a focused intervention it is a lot more painful saving the relationship. For couples in distress hope and tenderness are very distant memories - and it is amazing to see their delight when they find how quickly it can be rediscovered.

How does Relationship Rescue work?
Relationship Rescue typically involves 1 or 2 days of therapeutic intervention, often in your own home (this does not occur in situations where there has been domestic violence). It involves intensive teaching and counselling and communication exercises. This is typically followed up with conventional counselling sessions or telephone sessions if you are not from the Auckland area.
