A personal message from Drs John & Julie Gottman
 

Dear colleague,

After 40 years of research and working with thousands of couples in our private practice and at the Gottman Institute...

We’ve developed methods based on proven scientific data that allow us to not only predict with 91% accuracy whether a couple will divorce or stay together—in as little as 15 minutes of observation...

We also now understand a great deal about the process of healing trauma—in both individuals and relationships.

Whether it’s from childhood or a more recent event, if you’re treating someone for trauma or PTSD, and that client is in an intimate relationship, couples therapy is an essential component of treatment for the PTSD sufferer, their partner, and the relationship itself.

Not only that, but men and women both can have a PTSD response to affairs and betrayal in relationships.

The betrayed person keeps trying to figure out what went wrong... What was true... What was a lie. They can’t stop thinking about how their whole world came crashing down.

Affairs and trauma both rupture the very foundation on which committed relationships are built... Making these two of the most challenging issues clinicians face.

That’s why, if you work with individuals or couples who have experienced trauma or affairs, this all-new online CPD course is for you. (Even if you don’t consider yourself a “couples therapist.”)

Through in-session demonstrations with real couples in our practice, plus lectures and discussions of Gottman Method Couples Therapy you’ll discover how to take clients from the emotional quicksand, crumbling relationships, and numbing hopelessness of unresolved trauma to a place of acceptance, hope, happiness and love.

You’ll dive deep into our proven, research-based approach and discover a roadmap to transforming clients and their relationships that you can use again and again.

Register today and join the 100,000+ clinicians around the world who have trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and used our proven assessment techniques and interventions in their work.

Discover clinical skills that will empower your clients to move through trauma, rebuild their relationship and create immunity from future betrayals.

Sincerely,

John M. Gottman, PhD & Julie Gottman, PhD, founders of the:
