WHO’S HOLDING THE SPACE FOR YOU?

When you step into this workshop, you’re not just learning tools.You’re being guided by two people who have spent decades helping couples untangle conflict and rebuild connection — and who also sit on the other side of the dialogue chairs themselves.

Philipa brings deep psychological insight, clarity, and a steady therapeutic presence. Chris brings over four decades of clinical wisdom, warmth, and grounded experience.

Together, they blend professional mastery with lived partnership. Not theory from a distance — but practices they continue to use in their own marriage. 💛

You’ll be supported, gently challenged, and carefully guided every step of the way.

You’ve probably seen the name… but what actually happens in this workshop?
Here’s what couples tell us after the weekend:
✨ “We finally understood why we keep having the same argument.”
✨ “I felt heard without being interrupted.”
✨ “We remembered we’re on the same team.”

This isn’t group therapy. It’s guided, step-by-step conversations with the one person who matters most — your partner. You won’t be asked to disclose private details to the room. You’ll be supported to have the conversations you’ve been trying (and struggling) to have at home.

And you’ll be in experienced hands with Philipa and Chris — combining deep clinical insight with decades of real-world relationship work.

If you’re not in crisis but know your relationship deserves more depth, safety, and connection… this is your space.

WHO’S ON DECK TUESDAY? 💔🛡

Ever snapped gone quiet
or turned everything into a joke

Then later thought
What on earth was that

In Resource Therapy we often see two inner crew members behind those moments

💔 The Hurting Heart part
Feels rejected
Not chosen
Not enough

🛡 The Bodyguard part
Gets loud
Busy
Sarcastic
Angry
Or just checks out

The Bodyguard is not trying to ruin your life
It is trying to shield your Hurting Heart

So instead of
“I am a terrible person”

Try
“That was my Bodyguard on deck trying to protect my Hurting Heart”

Today’s check in

Who is on deck for you right now

Hurting Heart
Bodyguard
Or both taking turns

👇 Comment with
💔 if your Hurting Heart feels close
🛡 if your Bodyguard has been working overtime
Or share your own name for these two parts of your inner cre

Chris and I first attended Getting the Love You Want as a couple, wanting to communicate better and feel closer. It slowed us down, helped us truly listen, and changed our relationship.

Now we’re honoured to guide other couples through the same transformative experience.

Many couples wait until things feel unbearable before reaching for help.
But the strongest work often happens before crisis, when commitment is still there, and both partners want something to change.

Talking about parts is not enough. Learn why the Resource Therapy ship metaphor reduces shame, increases differentiation, and supports direct, trauma-informed intervention.

Why do we use a ship and animal crew in Resource Therapy? Because parts respond to safety. Discover the neuroscience behind the metaphor and how it supports precise, trauma-informed parts work.

💛 What if two days could change the direction of your relationship?

Real change doesn’t happen through insight alone. It happens through experience.

Over this intimate weekend, you won’t just learn new concepts — you’ll practise new ways of being with each other, in real time, with guidance and structure.
✨ Conversations soften.
✨ Defences lower.
✨ Understanding deepens.

This is experiential work. You don’t just talk about change, you feel it.

Sometimes it’s not the affirmation that’s wrong. It’s simply not being heard by the right part. Psychology tells us the secret to success.

Positive affirmations can feel helpful for some people and frustrating for others. From a Resource Therapy perspective, the difference often lies in which part of the inner crew is listening. This …
