Gottman Couples Therapy

Introducing relationships is actually surprisingly easy. Couples who manage to maintain happy relationships are those who support each other's hopes and desires and build their union together on a common goal.

Dr. JOHN GOTTMAN

Based on the scientific research of John Gottman, the world-renowned professor who continues the most comprehensive and valid research in couples therapy, which started in 1970 and continues until today, Gottman Couples Therapy is effective in couples and relationships in the world. and it is a proven comprehensive therapy method.

Every couple's relationship dynamics are different from each other. For this reason, the planning of the therapy process is determined specifically for the couple who comes to the session. The goal of therapy is to identify vicious cycles, to break these cycles and replace them with positive cycles. The therapist helps the partners identify their needs in the relationship, rather than determining what is right and wrong and taking sides. He approaches the partners at an equal distance and aims to treat the relationship, not the person.

The first session in Gottman couple therapy is the introductory session. In the second session, the couple is interviewed individually and in the third session, treatment planning is carried out. The entire therapy process is based on the couple's interaction patterns. Partners learn and practice relationship building and problem solving skills together. Each couple's needs and expectations from therapy are different, so the duration of couples therapy will vary depending on these needs and goals.

Strong Relationship House

Strong Relationship House is used to conceptualize successful and unsuccessful relationships. is a model. The model consists of seven blocks in relationship development. And each block represents certain aspects of relationship functioning. Let's talk about these blocks briefly. Creating love maps: I know my partner well, I know what makes them happy or sad. This block allows partners to feel individually loved and recognized. Sharing interest and likes: I know I am loved. This block ensures that partners' needs to feel loved and valued are met. Turning towards each other: my partner is my best friend. This block is the key to the relationship. fli allows it to bring fun, supportive sharing. Positive perspective: Ours is a good relationship. With the establishment of a close relationship in the previous three blocks, it becomes easier to establish a positive perspective. Managing conflict: we can manage our conflicts. In this block, it can be ensured that the conflict processes of the couples can be transformed into a more constructive process. Realizing dreams: a happy future awaits me. Couples who know each other's dreams, core values, beliefs and past stories, that is, couples who can maintain the dialogue, do their best to make their partner's dreams come true. Common meaning: we are good as a team. By establishing the relationship jointly, rituals, roles and meanings can be created in a way that meets the expectations of both people.

The walls of this house create trust and loyalty, and these walls allow other blocks to stay together. Accordingly, in a strong and healthy relationship, the parties trust each other and promise to stay committed to each other.
