💔 First aid in a relationship crisis: break the vicious circle with our crisis intensive
💔 Conflict, distance or constant tension? A relationship crisis can feel suffocating and emotionally exhausting. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to find each other again. 😥
🔥 Does your relationship feel like an endless battle, or a cold distance? In our relationship crisis intensive you gain immediate insight into what’s wrong. Step out of the vicious circle and take the first step towards change together.
🚨 Fast help in times of crisis: you get priority
⏳ When your relationship is in crisis, you need help now — not in a few weeks’ time. That’s why we give couples who book a relationship crisis intensive absolute priority. We rearrange our diary so that we’re available within a week for the first sessions of the crisis package. That means you don’t have to wait months — you can begin the in-depth guidance you need straight away, to break patterns and gain clarity about the future of your relationship.
⚡ You’re given a priority slot, which creates additional space in our schedule. This may mean we take on a smaller caseload or move existing appointments, so that you’re helped sooner. This intensive approach asks more of us as therapists, but it gives you the best chance of a real breakthrough in the short term.
💰 Because of the intensive nature of this process, the financial investment is higher than for our other relationship therapy formats. This reflects the extra time and dedication we set aside to support you through your crisis as fully as possible.
🔍 Is a crisis intensive right for you?
✅ Should I stay or should I go? You’re unsure whether you can carry on together, but you want to explore all options first.
✅ You’re in the middle of a breach of trust (for example, infidelity or another major event) and don’t know how to move forward.
✅ Your arguments keep going round in circles without anything really changing.
✅ You no longer feel emotionally safe in the relationship, but don’t know how to repair that.
✅ You feel more like housemates than lovers. The connection has faded and the situation has become unbearable.
✅ You’re stuck — but you want to come out of this stronger together.
✅ You’ve already tried relationship therapy, without results.
✅ External stress factors (work pressure, a young family, family difficulties) are putting your relationship under heavy strain.
✅ You want a real breakthrough, not months of slow-moving therapy.
If one or more of these points feel familiar, a relationship crisis intensive may be the right step for you.
🔍 A new perspective on your relationship
🤝 During a relationship crisis intensive, many couples experience an illuminating insight into the patterns that are pulling them apart. It isn’t a ready-made solution, but it’s a powerful first step in breaking out of the negative spiral.
🤯 The longer you stay stuck in patterns of conflict or avoidance, the wider the distance grows. The nervous system shifts into survival mode, and without action, the gap between you keeps growing. Time doesn’t heal wounds — the right kind of attention does.
😨 A relationship crisis intensive helps you stop this negative spiral. You learn not only why you keep getting stuck, but also how to bring safety and connection back into your relationship.
⚖️ Choose consciously — not on autopilot
🌪️ Relationships don’t change by themselves. Without conscious attention, partners often grow further apart. An intensive approach can help you break the deadlock and start talking again.
⚖️ Crises are part of relationships, and they’re often valuable opportunities for growth to a new level. Whether it becomes a ‘make or break’ depends largely on how fully you make use of those opportunities.
💪 Dare to take the first step
📅 In 3 to 4 days we work together on a deeper awareness and renewed contact. This can bring the calm you need to look at the future of your relationship with more clarity and understanding.
🛠️ Programme | Crisis package
🔹 Intake relationship session with Kim & Katrin — an exploration of your current situation:
- Where did things get stuck?
- What is the damage?
- How was your relationship before the crisis?
🔸 Individual sessions — each of you has a personal session with one of us:

- What are your personal vulnerabilities?
🔻 Intensive relationship sessions with Kim & Katrin — 1 to 2 long sessions (2 hours) in which we:
- quickly break your destructive patterns;
- teach you to communicate constructively about painful issues;
- restore contact at a deeper level;
- get to the real causes of your problems and, where possible, begin to repair them.
🔄 Follow-up session — to review progress and challenges, and to clarify your perspective on the future.
🎯 Our method: EFT, IFS, RLT & PVT — an in-depth, couple-to-couple approach
🌿 We work with EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), a scientifically grounded method for restoring the attachment bond between partners. We integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Polyvagal Theory (PVT) for a holistic approach that goes beyond communication. This lets us work on multiple layers — not just communication, but the deeper emotional undercurrents that shape the relationship.
💞 What makes our guidance unique? We work couple to couple. As therapists and partners, we know relational dynamics from our own experience, and we combine that with many years of training in EFT. The result is a safe, relatable setting in which you can get to the heart of things quickly.
