    Improving Intimacy: The Course

    A self-paced course for individuals — married, dating, divorced, or single — that moves you from managing your relationship to genuinely connecting in it. Built by Daniel A. Burgess, LMFT, from 25 years of clinical work with couples.

    Course Overview

How Self-Paced Relationship Coursework Compares to Therapy, Coaching & Community

Developed by Daniel A. Burgess, LMFT, our self-paced educational coursework translates clinical marriage and sex therapy frameworks into structured lessons and workbook exercises you can complete privately at your own pace — either on your own or alongside your spouse.

1. Improving Intimacy: The Course (10 Modules, 46 Lessons & 8 Guided Practices)

The flagship Improving Intimacy Course Curriculum walks step-by-step through differentiation, emotional homeostasis, untangling purity culture shame, understanding spontaneous vs. responsive sexual desire, and rebuilding trust after secrecy or pornography conflict. Want to try a lesson before enrolling? Start with our Free Course Practice: The Event and the Story.

2. The Inner Circle Private Study Community & Essay Library

For readers who want ongoing long-form clinical essays, working book chapters (Books & Practice), and moderated discussion rooms without social-media noise, The Inner Circle Membership offers monthly and annual options, or can be bundled with lifetime course access in the Course & Membership Shop.

3. When to Choose Clinical Couples Therapy or Relationship Coaching Instead

Self-paced courses build shared language and practical skills, whereas clinical Online Therapy & Coaching provides live, individualized support for acute betrayal injury, sexless marriage recovery, or mixed-faith marriage counseling.
