Overview of The Gottman Method

The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a practical approach built on an unprecedented 40+ years of rigorous scientific research with thousands of couples. Through this research, Drs. John and Julie Gottman identified the specific behaviours and communication patterns that predict a relationship's future. Our work together will focus directly on interrupting those negative patterns and replacing them with skills that foster friendship, manage conflict, and create shared meaning.

This method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. To help you productively manage conflicts, you will be given methods to manage resolvable problems and dialogue about gridlocked (or perpetual) issues. We will also work together to help you appreciate your relationship's strengths and to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities.
