Feeling grateful for the profound growth I get to witness in those doing the hard work! It’s all just so damn beautiful ❤️

We are saddened to hear about the passing of beloved friend, therapist, and thinker, Dan Wile, Ph.D.

He believed that when couples had problems it was because the individuals had lost their voice and the couple had lost their connection. With that understanding, he developed Collaborative Couple Therapy.

With Dan’s vision, therapists were given the tools to speak from the heart for each individual to help express their longings, losses, fears, and desires. Therapists all over the world use Dan Wile’s techniques to step in and speak as if they are the partner in pain, so the pain can be expressed in a heartfelt way rather than as attack or blame. We affectionately call this technique “The Dan Wile."

Many have been touched by Dan's work and we are thankful to have known such an innovator in couples therapy.
