Moving from "Actionless Empathy" to Real, Empirical Results
As a therapist, you know how incredibly difficult it can be when a couple walks through your door entrenched in conflict and fundamentally disconnected. Often, empathy alone isn't enough to change the core dynamics of their relationship.
This workshop introduces you to four decades of Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman's breakthrough research—the most extensive study ever done on marital stability and divorce prediction. It's time to stop guessing and start relying on a research-based roadmap to help couples compassionately manage conflict, deepen friendship, and build shared meaning.
