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

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!”

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
- The Conflict System - the basis for helping couples manage solvable problems
and understand and manage unresolvable differences
- The Shared Meaning System - the existential foundation of the relationship
that helps couples create shared purpose in building a life together
