ARI’s Functional Love Model:

Functional Love is the integration of awareness and action in relationships

The inspiration of the Functional Love model is rooted in the practice of functional medicine, a modality that focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of dysfunction rather than masking the symptoms. 

This comprehensive model has been developed from the past decade of providing marriage counseling and coaching to couples. This approach to improving relationships emphasizes dropping below the symptoms (the content, fights, stalemates and surface patterns) to explore and heal the underlying hurts, fears, stories and vulnerabilities that are at the core of conflict. Through this process, couples, family members, partners and friends enhance connection by broadening awareness of their internal experiences, strengthening safety and deepening emotional intimacy. Our work with couples incorporates aspects of Emotion Focused Therapy and Attachment Theory, understanding protective patterns to enhance healthy communication, developing awareness of love languages and exploring what we’ve identified as the six primary forms of intimacy in romantic relationships.

The 5 key elements of Functional Love in relationships:

• Emotional Safety and Trust

• Mindful Communication

• Intimacy

• Individuality and Interdependence

• Partnership
