Gottman Method of Couples Therapy

What is the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy?

When couples are exploring options for couples therapy, a well known therapeutic intervention is called the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. This is a method developed by Dr. John Gottman & Dr. Julie Gottman, based on many years of research and therapeutic work with couples. The goal of this intervention is to help couples to strengthen their relationship in three main areas:

  1. Friendship
  2. Conflict Management
  3. Creation of Shared Meaning

This structured intervention helps couples to identify and replace negative patterns of conflict with positive interactions, and work toward healing past hurt. This approach aims to help couples to deepen their emotional connection, and make meaningful changes to improve their relationship.

This intervention is best suited for couples where both partners are invested in healing and repairing their relationship.
