Gottman Method
For therapists, life coaches, counselors, educators, clergy, trainers, and other mental health and well-being professionals, the Gottman Method is an approach to couples therapy that includes a thorough check up of the couple’s relationship, and integrates research-based interventions based on the Sound Relationship House Theory. The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
Conflict is the primary reason couples seek help. Our resources are designed to change the way you handle disagreements. Through a new mindset, examples, exercises, and role-playing videos, we’ll show you how to de-escalate conflicts, create deep connections, and even introduce humor and affection into tense moments.
Backed by five decades of rigorous, reliable science, the Gottman Method is your guide to a healthier, more satisfying relationship.
