Talking More Isn’t Always the Answer 🗣️❌
Some conflicts aren’t solved by saying more—they’re solved by how you say it. Grounded Responding teaches you to share your thoughts while staying calm, so your partner can really listen and connect. Read More: https://crcmo.com/communication-share-effectively/

Stop Talking in Circles 🔄
Feeling like no matter how much you explain, your partner just isn’t hearing you? It’s not about talking more—it’s about sharing in a calm, intentional way that actually opens dialogue. Grounded Responding + the Differentiation Model = conversations that work. Read More: https://crcmo.com/communication-share-effectively/

You're not avoiding each other because you stopped caring.
Often, it’s the opposite.
👉 The more you care, the scarier it feels to be misunderstood again.
👉 The more you want to reconnect, the more tender it feels to risk another rejection.
This isn't just about s*x. It's about emotional safety.
💬 “You don’t have to have the answers. You just have to take the first step. The rest? We’ll build together.”
If you’re both willing, curious, and unsure how to begin—you’re already halfway there.

If you’ve been feeling lonely, rejected, or unwanted, it doesn’t mean you are broken—or that love has run out. Often, couples simply haven’t learned the skills to rebuild or reimagine intimacy after distance creeps in.

It’s not easy to open up about your deepest needs, especially with someone who once felt safe but now feels distant.

But intimacy isn’t about leaping across the gap—it’s about building the bridge, one board at a time. 💞

With the right kind of conversation, you can reconnect emotionally, physically, and intimately.
✨ It’s not magic. But it is possible.

📩 If this speaks to you, reach out today to begin that conversation. https://crcmo.com/rebuilding-emotional-and-s*xual-intimacy/ https://calendly.com/monicahouttuin/cbcmeeting?month=2024-12

You Don’t Have to Start Where It Fell Apart 🧱🛠️
Most couples try to fix intimacy by jumping straight into “the problem”—but that’s like patching a leak without rebuilding the foundation.
In this blog, we explore how to rebuild your emotional and physical connection the way you'd rebuild a bridge—board by board, starting with trust, safety, and care.

Because the work that comes before “the talk” is the work that actually makes it possible.

When Talking About Intimacy Just Makes Things Worse 💬💔
Ever try to talk about your intimate life, only to leave the conversation feeling more hurt, more alone, more shut down?
You’re not broken. You're just stuck in a loop that can't be solved in the middle of the mess.
This blog breaks down why so many couples keep missing each other—and how to begin again from a place of curiosity, safety, and emotional connection.

Many of the couples I work with aren’t falling apart.
They’re functioning. Running businesses. Raising families.
But behind closed doors? Quiet disconnection, scrolling in silence, and the ache for something warmer.
💡 Intensives aren’t just for couples in trouble—they’re for couples who want more.
🔥 Read how they work (and why they change everything):

Why You Keep Circling the Same Arguments...
Weekly therapy sessions end right when things are getting real.
That’s why intensives offer uninterrupted time to go deeper, stay longer, and finally get under the surface.
💬 No more stopping mid-breakthrough.
🧭 No more circling old wounds.

When You’ve Tried Everything… and Still Feel Stuck.
Not in crisis. Not screaming. Just stuck.
That’s the quiet ache that therapy intensives are designed to shift.
🪨 Whether it’s emotional shutdown, intimate disconnection, or just feeling like roommates—many couples say they “gave it their all” before they tried this format. COUPLES INTENSIVES.
💬 And then everything changed. Learn why: https://crcmo.com/when-one-hour-isnt-enough-couples-therapy-intensives/

For the Couples Who Feel Miles Apart, Even Sitting Side by Side.
It’s not that you don’t love each other—it’s that something got buried under the daily grind. And no matter how many books or podcasts you try, nothing cuts through the fog.
💥 Therapy intensives are built to change that. In just 1–2 days, couples report feeling closer, clearer, and finally heard.
If one hour a week hasn’t helped, this just might.

Is One Hour a Week Enough to Heal Your Relationship?🕒
You show up, you try, you hope. But by the time you’ve warmed up in therapy—it’s time to leave. That’s the heartbreak of weekly sessions when you’re carrying years of silence, disconnection, or hurt.
💡 Couples Therapy Intensives give you time to slow down, go deeper, and finally stay with what matters. It’s a full reset in a calm, supported space—designed to shift patterns, not just patch over them.
📞 Let’s talk about whether this format could work for you.

☀️ Summer’s here — and so are the packed schedules, road trips, late bedtimes, and non-stop parenting duties.
The kids are out of school, but when’s the last time you got a break?

Between sunscreen, snacks, and sibling squabbles, it’s easy to lose sight of you—and the connection you share as a couple.

If you’re feeling more like co-managers than partners lately, you're not alone. This season can pull your energy in every direction except toward each other.

Let’s change that.
✨ It’s time to rekindle that spark.
✨ To prioritize the “us” again.
✨ To create space for connection, not just chaos.

📞 Schedule a complimentary phone call with me, and let’s talk about what’s possible for your relationship—even in the middle of summer.
