'Bridging the Couple Chasm'
Couples Therapy - A Research-Based Approach

Presented by John Gottman, Ph.D and Julie Schwartz Gottman, Ph.D,
Certified Gottman Therapist Master Teachers  
  

This is the first step in learning Gottman Method Therapy! A truly inspiring workshop, Level 1 training will give you new insight into couples' struggles using research-based assessments and effective interventions. Combining lecture, video from Dr. John Gottman’s research with couples, and film clips from the Gottmans’ clinical practice, it teaches you:

  • Proven strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict
  • Skills that empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues
  • Approaches for multiple presenting co-morbidities including incest, the effects of poverty, PTSD and infidelity
  • Methods to help couples process their fights and heal their hurts
  • Techniques for couples to deepen their intimacy and minimize relapse

You’ll also receive a 300-page Manual featuring new relationship assessment questionnaires and clinical interventions that you can use immediately with your clients.

“This was the single most useful conference I have attended in 23 years of clinical practice. Clear, concise, and useful. Thank you so much for your presentation, your work, and your humor!”
(E.B., PA)

Equipped with new methods and tools to help couples break the cycle of criticism, defensiveness, contempt and stonewalling, you'll use research-based principles and interventions of Gottman Method Couples Therapy to strengthen:

  • The Friendship System - the building block for intimacy, passion, and good sex
