Our marriage was strained, headed for divorce. We had never been to couples counseling. We had been to a therapist 2 years previously and had no success.

Kent’s process revealed issues and lead to streamlined coaching. Kent made us listen to each other and rationalize our thoughts, he was patient and very helpful.

The weekend approach gave us the time to really dive into our issues and face each other’s concerns. We are communicating, showing affection and have had no conflict.

We recommitted to each other, learned how to deal with conflict and a better way to communicate with each other.
I would say if you really want to save your relationship it is worth the time and investment.

I was ready to contact a divorce lawyer. My husband was having a 3-year affair and we had severe social problems. But I wanted to be able to tell my kids one day that I did everything I could. Didn’t have time for typical weekly therapy. My husband refused therapy up until now.

I wondered begore we started if I could endure the pain of talking about his affair. Wondering if I could hold it together emotionally through the sessions. Worried how my husband would act.

My husband made the decision to end the affair and try again. Kent was able to confirm my guess that my husband has Asperger’s. With the third person in the room, my husband talked to me for the first time in years.

I wanted to use a male therapist because I though he would help me decode my husbands’ thoughts and feeling and I wanted my husband to feel like somebody was on his side.

The affair was discussed and dealt with. My husband was pushed to talk through the situation instead of withdrawing. Kent was able to introduce concepts that my husband remembered when we got home and repeated.
I would say, this is a great thing to do especially when it seems you’re reaching the end of the relationship.

My husband found Kent. We were at a breaking point in our marriage and I was ready to throw in the towel. He was not and made a conscious effort to find us a good therapist. We really liked Kent and felt he understood our issues.

We had no hesitations. I knew we needed this to make our marriage better. It started the day after our 38th anniversary. Not a time to give up. We made it this far.

Kent was easy going, stayed on point. He made us feel relaxed about talking about things.

I now have a better understanding of how my spouse felt. We are listening to issues without judgment and now know what our love languages are (both of us a ‘feeling loved’), which we were not doing. We are kinder to each other. Forgiving of our mistakes.

I’d say just do it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Our marriage was rocky, near the breaking point. Intimacy and communication were huge stumbling blocks. It was a sexless marriage, little communication beyond careers, kids and puppies. The previous couples therapy was on a limited one hour per week basis, it did little if anything for us.

Einstein’s theory of insanity required we do something different. Also the qualifications and experience along with Gottman techniques, I had no reluctance. I knew it was our last shot.

Work with Kent was terrific: easygoing approach but always with a plan in mind. We learned a lot about each other in a very brief but highly efficient weekend. I am able to see fear and pain where once I saw only contempt and anger. I realize perhaps for the first time in my life how much this relationship means to me and how far I am willing to go to preserve it. It has given us the freedom and skills to express real vulnerability and desire. Worth every penny. I would say this could literally save your relationship.

I did not know if I could continue in the marriage. Kent provided the guidance I needed to work toward a resolution, and the understanding if it does not work. It was worth the effort to try.

Kent was unbiased, down to earth, compassionate, commanded a knowledge of the materials and method given his years of experience.

I gained insight into programs, theories, and face the realities of staying married vs. divorce. I am attempting to remove detachment and create a new, stronger bond. The therapy provided my wife with a better understanding of where I am based on the support of Kent and the application of his knowledge. This will help both me and my wife understand how to proceed to work on necessary changes to how we think and act upon the issues we have.
