Marriage is hard and it is certainly not the fairy tale story that Disney had once made us believe. It takes work, compromise, forgiveness, and understanding. Learning to communicate and resolve conflict effectively is a major key, but it also involves putting our ego aside and truly having a desire to listen to our partner and their needs. I have been in private practice for 20 years, and I am Gottman Method trained. I have worked in the field of domestic violence, residential care, and as a community mental health provider for more than 26 years. I am currently seeking my doctoral degree in Marriage and Family therapy.

In a safe space, you’ll learn new techniques for conflict resolution and building communication skills, informed by the Gottman method.
You’re lying in bed next to your partner, but it feels like there’s an unbridgeable gap between you. Lately, it’s as though you’re just roommates. You tolerate each other and have built a functional life together, but something integral is missing. There’s no passion anymore, and the romance has all but disappeared. When you try to discuss these issues, it always seems to devolve into a screaming match. Neither of you is having your needs met. You’ve both become so locked into your family roles that there appears to be no way out. You’re not ready to give up, but you don’t know how much longer you can go on like this. You need help.

How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
