At this time, transportation is likely but not yet confirmed for certain. Couples who need transportation are encouraged to register and find out more. This is an evidence-based practice that helps couples work on their relationships. It starts with an extensive survey that provides detailed information to the therapist and is used to create an ultimate and unique treat- ment plan for the couple. Topics explored include a) The four horsemen (the four fac- tors most likely to cause friction in a rela- tionship) – criticism, defensiveness, con- tempt and stonewalling, b) Aftermath of a fight, and c) Love maps.
