What is the Gottman Method?
Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that integrates decades of scientific study on relationships. This method provides tools to reduce conflict, deepen friendship, and create a system of shared meaning.
How does it work?
The Gottman Method begins with a thorough assessment of the couple’s relationship strengths and challenges. From there, therapists guide couples through structured interventions to improve communication, manage conflict constructively, and enhance intimacy. A key focus is building the “Sound Relationship House,” a framework that fosters trust, commitment, and mutual respect.
