“We love each other, but we keep getting our wires crossed when we try to talk.”

Better conversations need a simple structure you can return to when emotions run high.

The Couples Communication Starter is a short, therapist-guided program that helps you feel heard and understood one conversation at a time.

Mockup image of Sabrina Bowen’s CCS course, a four-step communication framework designed to help couples talk without spiraling into fights.

In this program you will:

  • Fight less and feel closer. So that it feels like you have each other's back when challenges arise.

  • Have clearer, calmer, and more productive conversations where you finally feel understood and close.

  • Develop a stronger bond so that you can have fun with each other without feeling blamed.

Imagine being on the same page again

If you've ever thought:

X We keep having the same argument.”

X “I try to share what I want, but it always turns into a fight.”

X We’re fine most of the time, but suddenly we’re in the middle of a fight.”

It does not have to be this way

That's why I created the Couples Communication Starter

This short program, guided by a therapist, offers a simple way to help you communicate. It helps your partner hear you and listen with understanding, even when disagreeing.

This is a simple, step-by-step program. It will help you and your partner have calm and meaningful conversations. You will exchange tension for understanding.

This program has 4 short modules. Each lesson builds on the last, so by the end you’ll have a repeatable process you can use for any conversation.

It's really simple, here's how it works:

Step 1: Learn the technique thru videos

Step 2: Practice with a loved one

Step 3: Feel confident, understood and connected

Whether you want fewer fights or deeper connection, clear communication changes everything.

Many couples care deeply about each other, but still feel stuck. Not because they lack love, but because they were never taught a clear way to communicate through hard moments.

I created the Couples Communication Starter to offer that structure in a simple, practical, and therapist-guided format.

These are the same tools I teach couples in therapy, designed to be used at your own pace, practiced as often as you like, and applied at home on your own or together.

About Sabrina Bowen

For over 26 years, I’ve helped couples rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and communicate more effectively.

The Couples Communication Starter is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches are widely used in couples therapy because they focus on what matters most in relationships: feeling safe, seen, and understood.

Couples often share that this framework helps them feel calmer, more connected, and better able to navigate difficult conversations. One of the strengths of this approach is its flexibility — I’ve used it successfully with couples from many different cultural backgrounds.

This program brings the same therapeutic principles I use in my practice into a simple, practical format you can use at home, at your own pace.

Ready to Feel Closer Again?

When conversations start to feel tense, it’s easy to second-guess what to say or avoid certain topics altogether. Many couples care deeply about each other, but get stuck in patterns that lead to defensiveness instead of understanding.

The Couples Communication Starter gives you a simple, practical framework to talk through hard moments more calmly and clearly so connection has room to grow.

It’s straightforward, therapist-guided, and designed for real-life conversations.

For $27 you get a communication framework you can return to anytime conversations feel hard.

Self-paced • Therapist-guided • Short and practical
