Capture Us
Capture us is ritualised toolkit that allows improved communication for couples. Built through insights from real couples counsellors and couples, data indicates that 64 percent of couples indicated poor communication as their biggest issue in their relationship. Capture Us circumvents this through allowing non spoken low pressure language to come through, allowing couples to ‘mark’ their feelings first and create an invite to conversation, giving an alternative inititating conversation through spoken word. Aiming to build more emotionally intelligent couples by giving them space to co-facilitate and learn what their patterns are physically on paper and through emotional routine. The ritual was designed to allow partners who may be avoidant or conflict adverse to still feel comfortable communicating issues with their partner. Keeping the conversation activity based and low pressure so to mediate breakdown and allow trickier conversations to have an element of play to them.
Built from an understanding of couples and their own uniqueness Capture Us was designed so to include 3 different main components allowing couples to adapt to their needs and making sure that Capture Us can fit into couples communication patterns in a preventative, reactive and reflective manner.
