Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a type of couples therapy that focuses on building strong, healthy relationships by improving communication, deepening intimacy, and resolving conflicts in a constructive way. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the method is based on over 40 years of research and has been used by thousands of therapists worldwide.

The Gottman Method is unique in that it places a strong emphasis on the importance of emotional intelligence in relationships. Therapists trained in this method work with couples to help them better understand and regulate their emotions, as well as to develop greater empathy and attunement towards their partner. Through a variety of techniques, including interactive exercises and personalized feedback, couples are able to identify and break negative communication patterns and build a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy.

The Gottman Method is a goal-oriented approach that is designed to help couples achieve specific outcomes, such as improved communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection. It is a structured and evidence-based approach that involves both assessment and intervention, meaning that therapists use various tools and techniques to identify areas of strength and weakness in a relationship, and then tailor their interventions accordingly.
