The course was created, designed and implemented by Kara Stamback, M.A., Erika Bugbee, M. A., and Dr. George Pransky, Ph.D. who have provided relationship help to thousands of couples.

You need only a computer, smart phone or tablet and an internet connection. All of the content is downloadable so if you have slow or unreliable internet connections you have the option of downloading and viewing the materials offline.

As soon as your registration is processed (within one business day) you will get immediate access to the course and you can watch it at your own pace.

As soon as you get access to the platform all of the course is accessible 24/7 for you to view when it is convenient for you. Please keep in mind that the course is designed to take you through the process of learning in a very deliberate way. You will get the most out of the course if you give yourself time between lessons to reflect on and absorb what was presented in the lesson before moving on.

The course is accessible 24/7. Nothing is scheduled. We do, however, recommend that you find a time in your schedule once a week when you know that you will be able to close your door and devote an hour to watching the course. The benefit of the course only comes when you’ve completed it so setting a end-date and sticking to it will ensure that you get the maximum benefit from the time and money you invest.

We put a tremendous amount of planning into anticipating your questions and incorporating answers into the course but questions may still arise as you participate in the online course. There are several resources to field your questions:

Two recorded Question and Answer sessions (60-minutes each) with previous course participants that will likely cover many of the questions you have

A limited number of coaching packages are available. Contact our office for more information.

Coaching packages give you an opportunity to discuss your learning with an experienced consultant. It allows you to ask questions or see an application to a particular issue or problem you’re facing in your relationship. It is like having a personal guide throughout the course and your life during the course. Coaching packages are available for additional cost for the scheduled sessions.

Yes, you can sign up for coaching any time, although people generally get more value from the coaching sessions if the course material is still fresh in their minds when the coaching calls take place. However, people often sign up for coaching months or years after completing the course as they face a particularly difficult challenge or a new relationship. What matters most is that their learning is alive and they’re motivated to see something new. Please email us at help@insightcourses.net to purchase coaching after you’ve started the course.

If two people in a couple want to do coaching we do two separate coaching packages. The reason for this is that it is not intended to be couples counseling but instead to teach a person in a relationship something that shifts their mindset. When a person’s mindset shifts how they see the other person and the relationship changes and they bring something different to the relationship. It’s a bonus that the coaching helps them in their personal life in addition to what they get for their relationship. One person doing coaching can improve the relationship significantly and it can improve even more if both do coaching.

We designed this online course with both new and seasoned students in mind. The course is based on a set of principles that represent the foundation for people’s relationships. These principles are broken down and explained very clearly in the course, and so no prior knowledge is necessary. If you’ve studied these principles before, or you’re a practitioner yourself, the unique expression and the depth of the presentations will serve to further your learning in a structured learning environment.

The components of this course are short, bite-sized and digestible to accommodate short attention spans and easily distracted students. We created the content in a way that is engaging and easy to relate to. We’ve also made it easy to view any component as often as you like and all of the components are transcribed into PDF format.

This course is a very different format than our four day intensive in La Conner. Our Intensive programs are one-on-one intensive program where the learning is customized for each client. That program has the benefit stepping out of your life and immersing yourself in the learning. However, the online course has its own unique benefit of “time releasing” the learning and there is something about taking responsibility for your own learning that can increase the impact of the online course format. The online course can be a way to “try it out” and get a feel for the work that we do, although the online course also has the potential to have the same impact of our other programs. To up the impact of the course we recommend that you view the lessons more than once. A coaching package can leverage the learning as well.

We encourage you to learn together with your partner or other family member. Additional family members living in the same household may take INSIGHT for Relationships for only $100. Please purchase INSIGHT for two at checkout.

Yes! If you’ve already bought one of our online courses, the cost of the 2nd course is only $180. Both courses share some of the same content, so we provide the discount accordingly.

Similarly, if people purchase the INSIGHT for Relationships course, and are interested in taking our other course (INSIGHT: The Principles of a Fulfilling and High-Performance Life), the cost would only be $180.

Yes. In fact most of the people that take this course either have partners that don’t participate, or they’re single. It may seem like a funny concept to take a relationships course without a partner, but the fact is, it doesn’t actually matter given how relationships actually work.

The point of the course is to help the person taking the course to have more resilience, clarity, and well-being within themselves, and to be more present in the relationship. That has a profound and immediate impact on the relationship as it changes the level of communication, the chemistry, the connection, and the overall dynamic. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself, AND for the relationship.

Yes. Many of the people who take this course are either single and don’t necessarily want a relationship right now, are dating and looking to settle down, or are with someone but not sure they want to move forward with that person. They want to be relationship-ready. And that’s what this course is all about.

This course will give you a solid foundation to build close and healthy relationships in the future. It does not mean you are committing to the person you’re with, or that you need to be in a relationship right now. When you’re ready, and you find someone that’s right for you, you’ll understand what it takes to stay out of your old habits, go through challenges without shutting down, and build a connection that’s real and gets better over time.

This course is designed to have a significant impact on your relationship that lasts. However, like anything else, the more you keep the learning alive, the more continued benefits you’ll see. This is one of the reasons that we made all of the components downloadable and why we give you access after your initial course session ends. We recommend that you revisit the material after the 8 weeks is done. You will find that it has a very refreshing effect and that you hear things that you didn’t hear the first time around.

You will get an email from us when we offer the next scheduled session of INSIGHT for Relationships. We recommend that you participate in future sessions if you need a tune-up, either the whole thing, the lessons you liked most, or the ones you don’t remember as well. Continuing to participate in the Facebook forum is also an excellent way to refresh what you’ve learned and keep your learning alive. You also may find that you would like to take the next step in your learning and consider signing up for our four day intensive program in La Conner, Washington.

In asking yourself whether this is the right program for you there’s one more thing we’d like you to consider: Like most things in life, the more you put in, the more you get out. This course will walk you through the process. That’s our part. Once you sign up, your part is to be ready to show up and engage with the course material. We make it easy: the material is very compelling and we don’t ask you to work hard, but if you take this opportunity seriously and show up to each lesson willing absorb the material with a fresh set of eyes, you can benefit from it as much as we have.

We hope this FAQ has been helpful. If you still have a question, please email us at help@insightcourses.net.
