Most people are familiar with couples therapy—the once-a-week sessions where you sit down, rehash the latest argument, and try to make a little progress before the hour’s up. But when a relationship is on the brink—when separation is on the table or therapy is part of an ultimatum—weekly sessions can feel like trying to patch a sinking boat with a roll of duct tape. It’s just not enough.
About a year ago, I learned about intensive couples therapy, and I immediately wished I had known about it sooner. That’s why I interviewed Rachel Ban, a licensed clinical social worker who offers intensives specifically for couples affected by ADHD. In this conversation, Rachel breaks down what intensive therapy really is, why it works, and how it can help couples who feel like they’re out of options finally start to turn things around.
If you'd like to learn more about Rachel Ban's intensive couples therapy or get in touch with her directly, you can visit her website here and her Intent to Action membership program with Melissa Orlov.
