Welcome to the first step in learning Gottman Method Couples Therapy! This foundation Level 1 workshop will provide you with valuable insights into the challenges couples face, utilising research-based assessments and effective interventions.
Our practical, emotion-focused, and highly effective approach is based on Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s four decades of research with more than 3,000 couples. It is the most extensive study ever done on marital stability and divorce prediction.
In this workshop, you will be provided with a research-based roadmap for helping couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams based on the Sound Relationship House Theory.
You will gain skills to empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues by uncovering their underlying dreams, history, and values. You will gain tools to help couples process fights and heal their hurts, and techniques for partners to deepen their intimacy and minimize relapse.
Approaches for multiple presenting co-morbidities including the effects of PTSD and infidelity.
Relationship Institute Australasia is one of the lead agencies in Australia in Gottman training and therapist certification. You will be training with Trish Purnell-Webb and John Flanagan – Certified Gottman Therapists, Advanced Clinical Trainers & Gottman Institute Consultants.
