Intensives & Workshops

Focused care for meaningful, lasting change

A relationship is a living system. Sometimes it needs focused care—a short, powerful reset that can change the course of years. Intensives condense weeks of work into days: uninterrupted time, clear structure, and practical tools you can keep using at home. Research and clinical experience suggest that 15–20 hours delivered over two or three consecutive days can yield gains comparable to months of weekly sessions—especially in high-stress seasons or when urgent repair is needed.

All offerings are available in our private Ginza suite or online via end-to-end encrypted video.

two-day private

Affair Repair Intensive

When trust is broken, ordinary conversations collapse under the weight of fear, shame, and doubt. This intensive offers a steady map out of crisis—clear, paced, and humane.

Research shows that 15–20 hours of marathon-style therapy, delivered over two or three consecutive days, can achieve the same clinical gains as four to six months of weekly sessions .

During this intensive you and your partner work exclusively with a Gottman Institute trained clinician to complete the proven Atonement → Attunement → Attachment roadmap for affair and trauma recovery to calm trauma reactions and foster emotional safety. The result is clarity, empathy, and a concrete plan for a thriving future—no matter how painful the starting point.

Who it helps

Couples navigating infidelity, secrecy, or complex blended-family conflicts

Partners living with trauma triggers, intrusive memories, or post-affair hyper-vigilance

Busy professionals, expats, or parents who want deep work without months of weekly appointments

Bringing Baby Home Workshop

(two-day program)

A science-based, heart-forward workshop to protect your relationship while welcoming your new favorite human. Learn concrete tools for conflict de-escalation, gentle repair, co-parent teamwork, and daily rituals that keep friendship—and romance—alive.

Nearly two-thirds of couples report a drop in relationship satisfaction after their first baby arrives.

Randomised trials show BBH couples maintain higher relationship quality and see greater father involvement in caregiving up to a year after birth .

Over twelve rich hours you and your partner will master concrete tools for conflict de-escalation, shared meaning and co-parent teamwork—delivered in English for multicultural families in Tokyo or live online worldwide.

Who it helps

Expecting parents (pregnancy weeks 16 – 40)
Parents of babies 0 – 24 months
Multicultural, expat or FIFO families who juggle distance and differing parenting scripts

Premarital & Newlywed Workshop

Private, research-based, and warmly guided

Why couples love this

Before moving in or saying “I do,” the best gift you can give your relationship is clarity. In this private workshop we walk through the conversations that happy, long-lasting couples master early—values, money, roles, intimacy, conflict, family, faith/meaning, and more—so you start marriage as a team, not as negotiators.

Money, work, home – transparent finances, roles, and time (work/friends/alone).
