Figs & Teale: Wounded Healers
We do not teach this work from a distance. We live it. Both of us have been in the kind of pain that makes you wonder if you chose the wrong person. We have had moments where we did not know if we could stay.
We had no business ever making love and relationship work.
We repaired our marriage. Not theoretically. We lived through rupture and came out the other side. Our marriage is on display in every session. We model what vulnerability looks like.
What Makes the Empathi Method Different
Our approach combines Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with our own clinical innovations. EFT, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, has an 86% improvement rate. We do not treat your relationship like a problem to solve. You are not going to find a cognitive solution to what is a limbic problem. We work bottom-up: nervous system first, then conversation.
3,000+ Couples. One Core Truth.
We have worked with over 3,000 couples. The underlying pattern is always the same: two people who love each other stopped feeling safe with each other. Our job is to rebuild that safety. Read what our couples say.

Before Day 1: The Prep
We start with assessment and intake. Each partner gets an individual call before the intensive begins. We want to know your real story. Three days is not a cure. It is a breakthrough into a different way of being together.
Day 1: Setting the Container
You will spend 5 to 6 hours helping us understand your competing narratives. We will map your cycle, teach you the architecture of how you got stuck, and start the first physiological shift toward safety.
Day 2: Going Deep
Day 2 is where couples often cry together for the first time in years. We move from “you are the problem” to “we are both hurting because we love each other.” This is the emotional turning point.
Day 3: Integration and the Road Forward
We build a plan for what happens next. We teach you tools for real life. We identify early warning signs. Most couples who complete intensive couples therapy online leave feeling like they have a map and the ability to read it together.
