Description
When couples enter the therapy office, they sting with pain and despair. They look to the clinician to referee chronic conflicts, fix their partners, and rebuild burned bridges. Now, based on 35 years of compelling research with over 3,000 couples, there's a practical and highly effective approach to guiding these couples across the chasm that divides them. In this workshop, using the methods of Drs. John and Julie Gottman clinicians are provided with proven, research-based roadmaps for helping couples to manage compassionately their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams.Workshop participants will be equipped with new methods and tools to help couples break the “Four Horsemen” cycle of criticism, defensiveness, contempt and stonewalling. Research-based principles and interventions of Gottman Method Couples Therapy will be offered through clinical demonstrations and films. There is a primary focus on helping couples strengthen:
1) The Friendship System - the building blocks for intimacy, passion, and good sex.
2) The Conflict System - the basis for helping couples manage solvable problems and understand and manage unresolvable differences.
3) The Shared Meaning System - the existential foundation of the relationship that helps couples create shared purpose in building a life together.
The approach and the workshop are both inspirational and practical.
