A Gottman Method relationship assessment provides couples with a deep understanding of their relationship dynamics by identifying strengths and areas of concern
This proven approach offers valuable insights into communication patterns, conflict resolution and emotional connection. As a couple, you can apply the results of this assessment to build a stronger, healthier relationship.
What is the Gottman method?
Couples who enter into Gottman Method Couples Therapy begin with an assessment process that then informs the therapeutic framework and intervention.
Using this method, couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair the damage caused by past conflict.
Subsequent interventions are designed to increase closeness and intimacy, improve friendship and deepen emotional connection.
Relationship assessment: How it works
An initial Gottman-style assessment and follow-up session might look like this:
- Assessment: a joint session is followed by individual interviews with each partner. Couples complete online relationship assessment questionnaires and then receive feedback on their relationship.
- Therapeutic framework: the couple and therapist decide on the frequency and duration of subsequent sessions that follow a clear framework.
- Therapeutic interventions: interventions are designed to help couples strengthen their relationships in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management and the creation of shared meaning.
Using the Gottman Method, Dr Amita Sarkar will create a detailed template to help you achieve your goals as a couple.
