Gottman Method Couples Therapy-Level 1 Clinical Training:Bridging the Couple Chasm

in conjunction with NZCCP 2016 conference

with Drs John & Julie Gottman

Thursday 7 & Friday 8 April

Amora Hotel, Wakefield St, Wellington

Help couples strengthen:

· The Friendship System – the foundation for intimacy, passion, and good sex

· The Conflict System – the basis for helping couples identify and address solvable problems, and understand and manage irresolvable differences

· The Shared Meaning System – the existential foundation of the relationship that helps partners discover their shared purpose for building a life together

This training will provide you with:

· New assessments and effective interventions to help understand couples’ struggles

· Research-based strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict

· Skills to empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues by uncovering their underlying dreams, history, and values

· Methods to help couples process fights and heal their hurts

· Techniques for partners to deepen their intimacy and minimize relapse

Drs John and Julie Gottman’s 40 years of compelling research and expertise with over 3,000 couples offers a practical and highly effective approach to guiding couples across the chasm that can divide them. In this workshop, you will be provided with a research-based roadmap for helping couples (heterosexual and same sex) compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams.
