Intensive Programs
WPHC offers two types of intensives. A Marriage Intensive for couples and a Reconnect Intensive for individuals.
The intensives can range from 1 to 4-day intensive counseling program designed to help individuals gain emotional awareness and overcome trauma. Our highly trained and experienced counselors will work with you to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions and develop coping strategies to deal with the effects of trauma. Through a combination of individual and group therapy sessions, meditation, and other techniques, you'll learn how to identify and manage your emotions in a healthy way. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with others who have similar experiences, providing a sense of community and support. Our program is designed to provide you with the tools you need to move forward on your healing journey.
Marriage Intensive
The idea for the Marriage Intensive came from the need for a faster approach to assist couples in crisis. It is designed to offer, in essence, a years worth of therapy in just 4 days. As the couple works through tough times, life continues to happen. Marriage experts are now able to predict divorce with 96% accuracy, in just a 3 minute clip of a conversation. The Marriage Intensive is to ensure that you do not develop unhealthy habits while working through difficult times. A setting to be free of distractions, to feel safe, and allow for the therapeutic process to happen.
If you find yourself trying to decide whether or not to stay in your marriage, consider the Marriage Intensive before you file for divorce. It will offer more than a once a week therapy session does, which often does not allow for adequate progress. The term “Reconnect Intensive” comes from another program that Ryan created for individuals to reconnect after trauma, as PTSD is becoming a diagnosis that many are struggling with. In the midst of a difficult time in marriage, the individual may find themselves struggling with issues like rejection, abandonment, and not being good enough. The Marriage Intensive will incorporate many of the aspects from the reconnect intensive to help heal the individual, so the marriage issues can be dealt with. This unique approach allows for healing so the couple can reconnect.
The Marriage Intensive is a four day program with a licensed therapist, in a beautiful setting just outside of Lake Meredith. The location is ideal and absolutely incredible.
Before the couple comes to the falls, there are several things to be done, such as a marriage assessment. The marriage assessment is information utilized by the therapist during the course of the intensive. The assessment can also be used to monitor progress at six and and twelve month points after the couple has completed the intensive. Once the couple has booked the intensive, the packet will be mailed to them.
At the falls the first day will be spent working with each individual on aspects of the autobiography that was created prior to coming to the falls. This is a unique day where each person will be able to access therapies such as EMDR, neurofeedback, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name a few. The next several days will be 6 to 8 hour days working on different aspects of the marriage. Some of the topics discussed will include sex, finances, communication, trust, commitment, and power.
Reconnect Intensive
The Reconnect Intensive is for those who feel they maybe disconnected from life due to traumatic or difficult situations. The intensive is designed for those that are currently stable, but have lost a sense of hope or direction in life and wish to reconnect with themselves. It is a merger of the most powerful programs that Ryan Watson has experienced through clinical practice. Ryan has been trained in therapies such as neurofeedback, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), emotional release, patterns and reflexes, voltage, homeopathy, energetic psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy. He has brought all of these modalities together in such a unique and powerful way, that individuals are often able to make quick and effective gains.
He has heard numerous people comment, “Ryan knows how to get to the bottom of the issue.”, “I wish I had tried this first.”, “I never thought that I could feel this good.”
