Gottman Method Level 2
Gottman Couples Therapy Training:
Level 2: Assessment, Intervention & Co-Morbidities
This 3-day training deepens the research, theory and intervention information learned in Level 1. Through the use of video from Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s practices, presentations and practical immersion, participants learn to integrate their personal style with Gottman Method Couples therapy. Participants receive direct, supportive feedback as they practice interventions. In day 3, we focus on complicated cases involving co-morbidities such as affairs, PTSD, mood disorders and other mental health issues.
Completion of Level 2 training is a prerequisite to Level 3 training and is the next step toward certification as a Gottman Couples Therapist.
In this three day training you will:
- Deepen your understanding of how to assess a couple’s Friendship, Conflict and Shared Meaning System.
- Receive personalized, supportive coaching from Certified Gottman Trainers as you practice using the Gottman Interventions in small group role-plays.
- View new demonstration films from the Gottmans’ clinical office.
- Refine your clinical skills and expand your strategies and interventions in your work with couples.
