Resources & Groups for Couples
* Couples Groups (for couples in conflict, through those doing well)
* Couples Private Sessions
* Individual Private Sessions
Do any of these fit your relationship?
A. Are you feeling on the verge of splitting up/ Or are you in conflict, but are committed to the relationship, and:
* Want to save the relationship, and/or
* Want to use the pain and conflict you have been going through as a means of growth and transformation. Do you wish to uncover and break through the dysfunctional patterns in this relationship, enabling you each to be more capable of a satisfying relationship, either with each other or, if not, someone else.
B. Is the current form of the relationship no longer working, but you want to:
* Keep your heart open to each other, and change the form of the relationship.
* Discover what is really there and true between you.
* Discover the difference between your real soul connection and the connection based on unhealed issues or dysfunctional patterns.
C. Is your relationship doing well, and you want to:
* Expand and enrich your relationship, feeling secure enough in it to uncover and explore deeper truths between you in, perhaps, more sensitive areas.
* Move toward deeper meaning, getting a sense of the deeper purpose for you being together.
* Use the relationship for transformation and fulfilling your life's purpose, enhancing each other's path in life.
* Move toward more satisfaction and empowerment, both as separate individuals within relationship, and together as a couple.
Many couples find themselves, sometimes on very subtle levels, treating each other as enemies, and lose sight of why they came together in the first place. The direction of the relationship can increasingly leave the here-and-now, until unconscious imaginings take over and what is real is edged out of the picture. Relationships bring up some of our deepest unconscious unhealed issues, and they also provide very powerful motivation to transform them.
This work is based on the premise that, underneath the defense systems, all that really exists between people is love, and that life is meant to work. And if life is not working, it is because there are unhealed issues in the way. Counselor and Facilitator Jane Cohen comes from a non-judgmental framework, in which each person is really heard, and in which it is safe to reveal yourself. The deeper meaning of what is actually going on, is brought to the surface, enabling misunderstandings and miscommunications to untangle. The focus is kept on what you really want, and opening the way to receive that.
Couples Groups:
These small groups, for 3-5 couples each, are in 8-week segments, and can be continued as long as the group decides to. They are set up to accommodate the specific needs of the participants. They focus on what it is each couple and individual (within each couple) really wants, uncovering what is in the way of experiencing that.
These are experiential and transformational groups, in which participants are guided into coming into the present moment with each other. This means bringing to light what is happening under the surface, so it can be untangled -- opening up communication, understanding and connection. This enables you to step into new vulnerable territory, in a safe structure; and find out what happens is much different and more positive than you thought. This breaks through old dysfunctional patterns.
You will also experience other couples in the midst of their relationship, and experience how that can shed light on what is happening in yours.
Various areas of interest can be explored, such as:
- Relationship agreements and roles, spoken and assumed
- Jealousy issues
- Compromise versus Freedom
- Self-interest versus Selfishness
- Exploring the dynamics between male and female perspectives, increasing understanding, communication and empowerment

Private Couple's Sessions:
Some couples prefer, or feel more comfortable starting with, private couple's counseling sessions for more focused private work.
$150 per 1-1/2 hour session, in Jane's Encinitas home office, (760) 753-0733.
Individual Sessions:
Both Couple's Groups and private couple's sessions are supported and greatly enhanced by individual counseling sessions, in which specific unhealed issues uncovered in groups and couples counseling sessions, can be cleared at the root through a process called TimeLine Therapy™. TimeLine is an NLP process. NLP is the study of the language of the brain; how our subjective experience is formed, and how it can be change. TimeLine Therapy™ is a very specific process, based on how the brain works.
In addition, all of Jane's work has a deeply spiritual and positive foundation to it (A Course in Miracles, Abraham-Hicks), and is highly intuitive, enabling her to get to the heart of things very quickly.
$150 for approx. 1-1/2 hour sessions (give or take 1/2 hr., depending on what's needed), in Jane's Encinitas home office.
