Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a well-established, research-based approach to couples therapy that has been shown to be effective in improving relationship satisfaction and reducing conflicts among couples.

The method was developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, who have over 40 years of experience in studying couples and relationships. The Gottman Method emphasizes the importance of building a strong friendship, improving communication skills and managing conflicts in healthy ways.

What, Specifically, Will We Learn?

Improve how well you know each other’s inner psychological world and your partner’s worries, stresses, joys and dreams.
Cultivate affection and respect within the relationship so that you feel well loved by each other.
Learn how to respond to each other’s verbal and non-verbal expressions of need for attention or connection.
Enhance positive emotions during problem-solving discussions to improve the success of repair attempts during conflict.
Learn how to manage, but not eliminate, conflict in a healthy and effective way. Conflict management is often a complicated topic and involves learning specific communication tools and techniques.

One of the only cautions that I have about Gottman Method Couples Therapy is that it is built upon correlational-based evidence (instead of cause-and-effect). In short, correlation does not imply causation. Just because we see patterns in couples that report happy (or failed) relationships does not mean that these patterns cause these results.

The other issue is that the Gottman Method is also a brand. For example, assume that additional research finds that part of the Gottman approach is inaccurate. Will they officially recall all training materials and refund all financial revenue? Rebrand the new method as, “Gottman Version 2.0”? Highly doubtful.

Regardless, the findings of the Gottmans’ research are in high demand, actionable and, quite frankly, they just work (this bit matters). Knowing this while practicing the techniques involved in Gottman Method Couples Therapy is what keeps us honest and helps to maintain a clarity of focus.
