LOVE, REWIRED
A Mini Workshop for Couples
June 27, 2026

Includes the Couple Forward Inner Compass Assessment β†’ a $200 value, yours with registration. Your ticket also includes a catered lunch.Β 

What if your relationship isn't broken. It's just running on old code.

Most couples aren't failing because of "communication problems." They're stuck in a cycle. Same trigger. Same wound. Same fight. Same distance.

That cycle can be reverse-engineered.

When you trace your arguments back to the source code β†’ your attachment wiring, your early wounds, your survival strategies β†’ you finally see the pattern clearly. Once you can see it, you can change it.

What the day looks like

A full-day immersive workshop where you and your partner will β†’

β†’ Take the Couple Forward Inner Compass Assessment, your personalized diagnostic of attachment style, survival strategies, and core needs (a $200 value, included with registration)

β†’ Map your cycle using the Couple Forward Roadmap

β†’ See how trigger β†’ wound β†’ protective reaction β†’ emotional loop β†’ disconnection keeps your fights running on repeat

β†’ Work through private partner exercises (no group sharing, no public speaking)

β†’ Learn to interrupt the loop with tools you can use immediately

β†’ Walk away with the same protocols I use with clients in private sessions

You don't marry your soulmate. You marry your trigger.

Not by mistake. By design.

The real work of love is reverse-engineering the cycle and growing up, together.

The Couple Forward Roadmap

The roadmap we'll walk together maps your current relationship challenges back to their root causes so you can finally interrupt the loop.

Individual trigger β†’ a moment in your current relationship that sparks a big reaction and activates something tied to your core attributions. Felt first as secondary emotions (anger, frustration, defensiveness, shame). These emotions connect to the masks you wear and the stories you tell yourself.

↓

Relationship patterns and loops β†’ the brain-coded loop between you and your partner, driven by automatic attachment responses (fight | flight | freeze | fawn) developed in early primary relationships. Secondary emotions fuel the visible loop. Primary emotions stay hidden beneath it.

↓

Survival strategies and nervous system wiringΒ β†’ protective adaptations written by early unmet needs, stored in the body's default settings. This is where primary emotions (fear, sadness, grief, joy, love) live as part of your original source code. These raw signals shaped the way you learned to manage or avoid connection.

↓

Core attachment needs and early coding β†’ connection | attunement | trust | autonomy | love and sexuality. Foundational needs that shaped your brain's patterns for safety and predictability. Unmet needs here created the original blueprint for both your survival strategies and your attachment style.
