Gottman Clinical Training Level 3
9am - 5pm
Gottman Clinical Training Level 3
There is no better way to learn how to apply Gottman Method Couples Therapy than the Level 3 Training. Through videotaped cases of real couples, demonstrations of assessments and interventions, and nuanced discussion of technique, the Level 3 Training significantly expands your understanding of when and how to use Gottman Method strategies.
In this five-day workshop, clinicians will learn to:
• Build on the knowledge obtained from Level 1 and Level 2 Training to master how to effectively use the Oral History Interview during a couple’s assessment and understand its implications.
• Clearly explain to a couple their strengths and challenges in terms of the Sound Relationship House, and how to help partners identify their own “Four Horsemen” and understand the antidotes.
• Select and utilize appropriate tools to help a couple deepen their Friendship System.
• Clarify a couple’s conflicts in terms of solvable, perpetual, and grid-locked problems, and use the “Dreams Within Conflict” technique to help a couple feel hopeful and to achieve break-through with their perpetual conflict.
• Successfully intervene when one or both partners are flooding, help a couple reach solutions using the Compromise Ovals intervention, and sensitively intervene when co-morbidities are present.
