5 love languages
Locus of control
Attachment styles
The couple will start the retreat by getting to the bottom of their core issues. Dr. Jayn will help the couple uncover their deep seeded unresolved gridlock problem, conflicts, resentments and/or anger. If this is a personal problem, the individual will do some EMDR sessions, especially if it is a trauma related to unresolved issues. The couple will learn new tools and skills, so that they can practice them. Change starts immediately, and needs to be adhered to on a daily basis. The goal is to produce positive results in the relationship. The couple will be taught better tools and skills, for all problem areas. There will be many role play sessions to practice these tools and skills, with Dr. Jayn coaching the couple. These method of couple's communication are extremely helpful, as many people are only able to have surface conversations. If you keep hearing your partner say the same things to you over, and over again, that means that you have not uncovered the "dead rat." That is why you hear them repeat the same sentences. When a person is taught how to peel the layer's of their partner's onion, most couples get extremely emotional, as they are finally hearing, for the first time, what is behind the 'surface sentence'. The information that comes from these sessions are invaluable, as you finally understand your partner and the way they have been trying to tell you what is wrong, for them. Couples find these sessions extremely emotional but enlightening, and are usually motivated to keep trying the new skills outside of the sessions. When the couple learn the effective and efficient way of communicating, they feel heard, and understood by their partner. This gives them a lot of hope in continuing this relationship, with compassion, versus resentment. The couple will also be taught how to be brave, and ask their partner for what they want, and to actually get it, via the love language activities. When the couple feel hopeful, forgiveness is possible. Please watch this video on the distress a person experiences, in their relationship with a loved one, and the explanations behind it.
EMDR Treatment modality explained
Attachment focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) is an innovation in EMDR and the field of trauma in that it specifically works to repair the effects of relational/attachment traumas on the mind-body throughout the lifecycle. Common issues include anxiety, phobias, depression, relationship issues and creative blocks to name a few. Relational traumas can include parental misattunement, parental alcohol and substance abuse, physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, medical traumas, significant early losses or living in a family where relational traumas have been passed down from generation to generation. The consequences of such traumas need not be intentional but are nevertheless persistent and pervasive in that they become part of the neural circuitry of the brain and can effect how one feels, thinks, perceives and acts in relationship to self and others.
An example will be, if you cut yourself, your body works naturally, to close the wound. Should a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes, naturally. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. Using the detailed protocols and procedures in EMDR, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.
Unlike talk therapy, the insights clients gain in EMDR result not so much from clinician interpretation, but from the client’s own accelerated intellectual and emotional processes. The net effect is that clients conclude EMDR therapy feeling empowered by the very experiences that once debased them. Their wounds have not just closed, they have transformed. As a natural outcome of the EMDR therapeutic process, the clients’ thoughts, feelings and behavior are all robust indicators of emotional health and resolution—all without speaking in detail or doing homework used in other therapies.
Jayn’s experience has been that once busy professionals invest in themselves and embark on the intensive EMDR treatment, they report that they are happier, exhibit less mental health related symptomatology, are more effective and efficient at work, have healthier relationships, exercise better boundaries, make healthier choices and their productivity increases at work. The results obtained in 1 session of EMDR, has been equivalent to 4-5 sessions of talk therapy. EMDR has been extremely successful in working with clients who want to get over relationship breakups, childhood abuse, divorce, spousal abuse, accidents, anxiety, rational / irrational fears, phobias, depression, natural disasters, losing a loved one, and even the loss of a pet. This is an investment in yourself, so you can function at the optimum level.
