Couples Intimacy Workshop: Growing Up Together!

Interactive One-Day Group Workshop

with Rev. Daniel Gowan, LCDC, LPC-S & Dr. Dina Hijazi, PhD, LSSP, CSAT

This workshop is for you if you’re looking to move beyond blaming and finger-pointing so you can identify your strengths as a couple and build on them. Learn how to manage your intense feelings without walling off or losing your temper. Discover how to grow your awareness of the roles you play with your partner and how to recognize what belongs to you and what belongs to your partner. Our goal is for you to walk away with the ability to recognize what patterns keep you stuck and what behaviors can facilitate reconnection and enhance intimacy.

Join us for an immersive and transformative couples workshop designed to explore and navigate the intricacies of relationship dynamics using the Karpman Drama Triangle. Led by Dr. Dina Hijazi, PhD and Rev. Daniel Gowan, this workshop provides a safe and supportive space for couples to deepen their understanding of communication patterns, foster empathy, and build healthier connections.
