GOTTMAN COUPLES THERAPY
THE SCIENCE
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is based on over 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman on thousands of couples. This research looked at what makes happy, long-lasting relationships. Research shows a significant increase in relationship satisfaction, enhanced intimacy and understanding, and decreased divorce and separation rate among couples who engaged in Gottman Method couples therapy.
HOW IS THE GOTTMAN APPROACH DIFFERENT?
Unlike with other forms of couples therapy, the Gottman Method:
1) Guides you in effectively communicating with one another, not just with me as the therapist, within a session.
This allows you to gain confidence to take the tools outside of the session.
2) Focuses heavily on increasing the positive in your relationship rather than just decreasing the negative.
This allows for you to mend the friendship within your relationship, increase comfort and closeness, rebuild trust and emotional safety, and reignite intimacy and passion. Research has found solely focusing on removing the negative may work in the short-term but is not enough in the long-term.
3) Exercises and tools are provided in between sessions.
So you’re getting more than just the weekly hour with me.
This method provides you with the tools you’ll need to ultimately become your own therapists. My job is to make myself obsolete!
