What is a Gottman Method session like?
Individual interviews will be conducted with you and your partner to get a baseline of where the relationship is at. Then, together you and your therapist will discuss what interventions may be useful for you as a couple. The goals of therapy are to learn healthy conflict resolution, build intimacy and respect, work through feelings of stagnancy, and foster empathy and understanding. Tools will also be discussed to prevent returning to previous unhelpful behaviors.
