In an episode of The Relationship Place podcast hosted by Jeffrey Young, MA, LMFT, our founder Dr. Dana McNeil, PsyD, LMFT introduces the concept of Therapy Getaway®, a unique aspect of our therapy intensives program. The Therapy Getaway® allows couples to combine therapy with a relaxing retreat in San Diego. By stepping away from daily responsibilities, couples can fully immerse themselves in their relationship, while enjoying a relaxing retreat. This approach not only enhances the therapeutic process but also provides a rejuvenating experience, making it easier for couples to reconnect both emotionally and physically in a supportive environment.
This combination of intensive therapy and a vacation-like setting is designed to maximize the benefits of the therapy sessions, giving couples the space and time they need to focus on their relationship without external pressures. The Therapy Getaway® is part of our offerings, providing a customized approach to meet the unique needs of each couple. You can choose from Couples Therapy Getaway, Individual Therapy Getaway, Poly/CNM Therapy Getaway, or Considering Polyamory Therapy Getaway, Alumni/Maintenance Therapy Getaway, and her exclusive “Fly Me To You” Therapy Getaway where you can book Dr. Dana herself to fly to your preferred location.
She further explains that couples often seek intensives when they face crises, such as infidelity or feeling emotionally disconnected. The format allows for deep, uninterrupted work, making it especially effective for couples who need immediate and significant change. The intensive sessions also cater to individuals who want to explore personal relationship challenges.
The discussion highlights the importance of understanding physiological responses in conflict, the value of structured conversations, and the long-term benefits of evidence-based therapy methods. Dr. McNeil also points out that these intensives are not only emotionally rewarding but also physically beneficial, contributing to overall well-being and longevity.
Overall, Therapy Getaway® Intensives offer a unique opportunity for couples and individuals to address deep-seated issues in a supportive, immersive environment. Watch more of it here:
