Northampton Center for Couples Therapy

In this one-evening online workshop, we will explore the art of the billet-doux—simply, a love letter. We’ll consider what it means to compose words for an object of affection, study the love letters of others, and write our own. Together, we’ll reflect on love in its most expansive and liberatory forms: divine, romantic, platonic, familial, and self-love. And we’ll ask: can writing to someone—or something—else ever free us, perhaps even from ourselves?

This group is designed as a structured space for clinicians to bring forward complex cases, clinical dilemmas, and questions that benefit from collective reflection. The focus will be on high-conflict couples, couples in crisis, complex relational presentations, and gridlock. Because the majority of Kerry’s professional energy is devoted to the Northampton Center for Couples Therapy, this is a rare opportunity to work with her outside of NCCT.

Today I’m sharing a guest post from Inez Cordoba, our in-house s*x therapy consultant. Inez is a licensed social worker (LICSW) and AASECT-certified s*x therapist whose work focuses on couples, and she’s also the host of a new podcast, Welcome to Being Alive.

In this piece, Inez introduces the heart of the podcast and the questions she hears most often in her clinical work—around desire differences, division of labor, emotional disconnection, and the quiet resentments that accumulate over time. Her approach is thoughtful, research-informed, and deeply aligned with the work we do here, which is why I’m pleased to share this with our community.

Regret is about wishing things had gone differently for YOUR sake. Remorse is about genuinely understanding the pain you caused your PARTNER and wanting to make it right.

One keeps you stuck in the past. The other opens the door to healing and reconnection.

If you're struggling to move forward after conflict or feeling like apologies aren't landing the way they should, you're not alone.
