Two-Day Couples Intensive for Relationship Crisis & Repair
The Two-Day Deep Dive is designed for couples facing a serious rupture, such as betrayal, escalating conflict, or a relationship dynamic that no longer feels manageable through weekly therapy alone.
Over two focused clinical days, couples work directly with Alexis Honeycutt, LMHC, Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT) to stabilize the relationship, identify the cycle driving the breakdown, and leave with a structured repair plan.
This intensive is conducted in Oviedo, Florida, and it is a strong fit for couples traveling from across Florida who want focused work in a private, distraction-reduced setting.
Two-Day Intensive Overview
-
Format: Two consecutive clinical days
-
Duration: 16 clinical hours (8 hours per day)
-

-

-

What Happens During This Intensive?
Over two consecutive days, we identify what is driving the breakdown, interrupt the escalation pattern, and establish a practical repair protocol you can implement immediately.
The work is grounded in the Gottman Method, and you will be working directly with a Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT). The focus is clarity and forward movement, so that couples leave with a clear formulation of the pattern and a concrete strategy for the next phase.
The Structure of the Two-Day Deep Dive
While every couple’s situation is unique, the Two-Day Deep Dive follows a consistent five-phase clinical sequence:
-
Phase I - Arrival & Alignment: We stabilize the immediate dynamic, define the rupture, and set the structure for the work.
-
Phase II - The Mirror: Brief individual conversations clarify context, boundaries, and what cannot be safely processed in joint work yet.
-
Phase III - The Reveal: We map the conflict cycle, identify triggers, and name the interaction pattern maintaining the problem.
-
Phase IV - The Reset: Targeted repair work reduces escalation, rebuilds emotional safety, and practices new interaction sequences in real time.
-
Phase V - Integration: You leave with communication guardrails, repair steps tailored to your triggers, and clear next-step recommendations.
Why I Recommend This Format
In my clinical experience, major ruptures require more than insight.
When trust is damaged or conflict has escalated, the time between weekly sessions can allow the same cycle to re-establish itself. The two-day model gives us enough continuous time to interrupt that pattern while it is active, practice new responses, and establish a repair protocol you can actually repeat at home.
For many couples, the intensive becomes the turning point that makes any follow-up work more efficient and more effective.

How to Know If This Is the Right Step
This format tends to be a strong fit when:
-
A significant rupture has occurred (betrayal, loss of trust, or repeated escalation)
-
Weekly therapy has felt too slow to stabilize what’s happening
-
Both partners are willing to engage in focused work for two full days
-
You want a structured plan for repair rather than open-ended discussion
Traveling to Oviedo for the Intensive
Many couples choose to travel for this format to step outside the day-to-day environment where conflict patterns keep repeating.
The office is located in Oviedo, Florida, approximately 25–30 minutes from Orlando International Airport (MCO). There are multiple hotels and short-term accommodations nearby for couples who prefer to stay locally during the intensive.

Beginning an intensive is straightforward and private.
-
Initial Contact: Reach out through the contact page. A brief conversation confirms whether the intensive format is appropriate for your situation.

Who This Format Is Not For
This intensive is not appropriate for relationships involving:
-
Ongoing domestic violence, intimidation, or coercive control
-
Untreated addiction or active substance use that prevents stable participation
-
An active, undisclosed affair (repair requires basic truth on the table)
-
Severe mental health instability requiring immediate psychiatric stabilization
If these issues are present, a different treatment pathway may be recommended.
