Expansive
Relationships:
Highly-specialized, non-pathologizing coaching, training and community support for individuals and relationships navigating simultaneous and profound relational, ideological, cultural, and religious transitions.
This often looks like leaving high-control faith or community structures (Mormonism, Evangelical Christianity, cults, and more), restructuring relationships (shifting marriage or relationship structure, embracing non-monogamy), or healing from compliance-based systems. Through peer- and coach-led group programs, relationship and individual coaching or therapy intensives, and online community resources and support, we foster resilience, curiosity, and liberation from shame. As a 501c3, we are committed increasing access to competent, anti-oppressive, pro-human thriving care during life changes requiring high levels of nuance and creativity.
Please note: Expansive Therapy has merged with RISE Therapy, where Court Bilbrey still offers specialized clinical therapy. You can request sex, relationship, and discernment therapy with Court here:
At Expansive Relationships, we use coaching, groups, trainings, and retreats to guide you through:
Deconstructing religious trauma; deprogramming compliance-based relating by discovering and communicating your boundaries and desires
Transitioning relationships with great care and strong boundaries [starting new ones, breaking up, transitioning a current relationship into a more congruent/connected space]
Finding values-aligned answers when making complicated decisions [relationship, reproductive, extended family, grief-related, identity-related, and more]
Understanding and appreciating—rather than pathologizing—gender, sexuality, and neurological differences, even when accepting those differences leads to grief and major life changes.
Communicating in new ways, leaving pathology, religion, and neurotypical communication patterns in your relationship(s).
Healing from sexual shame, redefining sexual and relational values.
Navigating out of just “trauma healing” and into curiosity, play, and hope
Reclaiming pleasure, agency, and relationships rooted in authenticity, not compliance
