The Gottman method uses specific tools to restore and build friendship and intimacy and to have productive conflict. It teaches couples how to resolve problems and how to dialogue about “gridlocked /perpetual” problems. Research shows that 69% of the issues couples fights about are perpetual issues that will never disappear. If partners leave the relationship for another, they will have a new set of 69% perpetual problems.
Perpetual problems are inherent in every relationship because we don’t marry ourselves. The Gottman Method helps couples come to a place of understand and empathy for the dreams behind these conflicts. It assists couples to live with these issues and to find areas of compromise that don’t invalidate the self of either individual. We also explore the goals, mission and dreams of the couple for themselves and for their relationship. This creates shared meaning which is a powerful cohesive force in the relationship.
Before I intervene, I want to understand as much about your relationship as I can. I want to understand its strengths and challenges, its history. There are 5 parts to the assessment. An online research-based questionnaire developed by the Gottman Institute to give an overview of the strengths and challenges in the relationship and 4 dedicated relationship therapy counseling sessions that are proven to help:
