Gottman Couples Workshop

Create Greater Love In Your Relationship

Do you have difficulty communicating and understanding each other? Are you stuck, arguing in circles about the same issues? Or, are you in a good relationship and would like to make it even better?

This workshop, based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman has strengthened the relationships of thousands of couples across the world.

Here is a fact: Good relationships don’t just build themselves, and problems don’t just go away. Research shows that on an average, couples wait six years from the first sign of problems before they seek help. And by that time a lot of negative emotions get in the way of repair and recovery of the relationship.

For over 30 years, award-winning therapist Dr. John Gottman studied and analyzed the habits of couples that had difficult relationships and couples that had exceptional relationships. And through his research he discovered the 7 core pillars that makes relationships work. This information is pure gold!

In this 2 day in-person workshop designed for couples in relationships, you receive amazing tools and techniques to make your relationship healthier and happier. You also understand the research behind what makes healthy relationships, versus what makes relationships deteriorate and ultimately fail.

You will learn skills in four key relationship areas:
(1) Managing Conflicts 
(2) Strengthening Friendship & Intimacy 
(3) Repairing Relationships & Building Trust
(4) Creating A Sense Of Shared Purpose

Relationship Insights As A Couples Therapist

Over time, I have worked with numerous couples and witnessed the unique journey of each couple, as they navigated through the challenges of their relationship.

I have watched their struggles, seen their enormous courage, handled their frustrations, taught them skills, kindled their compassion, and celebrated their small and big achievements. It’s been a very fulfilling journey.

As a couple’s therapist, many people ask me what are my 3 important insights about love and relationships. So here it is,

#1. There’s no such thing as a perfect partner

There is no such thing as the perfect partner. They don’t simply exist. You can spend a lifetime trying to the find the perfect mate, and yet fall short. Here is why – we have been erroneously fed with impossible fairy-tales of what perfect partners need to be like. It is far easier to have a romantic dream of finding that person who will complete your life, rather than to imagine a relationship that involves time, energy, and investment.

This myth of the ‘perfect partner’, often causes us to have unrealistic expectations of others (and often of ourselves, too) which can lead to a great deal of emotional pain in and out of relationships.

#2. Healthy relationships require constant, conscious effort

The thing is, real relationships are not always easy. In fact, they can be excruciatingly hard at times.

What seems like the perfect relationship, filled with love and tons of picture-perfect photos (often on social media), is still ridden with conflict. Conflict is normal. I think the difference between “perfect” relationships and those that fail, is how the difficult times are handled.

In my experience, every successful relationship has two people, who are willing to put in the work. And that is what makes all the difference!

#3. 69% of your problems won’t be solved. They can only be managed

According to research carried out over two decades by The Gottman Institute, 69% of all conflicts experienced in relationships are ‘perpetual’. Which means that they are bound to arise again and again, due the fundamental differences in our personality. Have you noticed that you and partner fight about the same things over and over again?
The idea is not to ‘solve’ these kind of problems, but learn how to talk about them without inflicting pain or damaging the relationship.

I hope this is helpful, no matter where you are in your own relationship journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Must both partners attend or can I come alone?

Since the class involves doing exercises together, both partners must participate. It is an extremely beneficial experience for both partners, when you do this workshop together.

Will we have to share our personal problems and issues with the class?

No. The class does not include sharing problems and issues publicly. Couple’s exercises are done privately. It’s up to you, what you would like to share with your co-participants.

Is this the same as couples counselling?

No. This workshop is designed to give you various insights, tools and techniques to make your relationship happier and healthier in a workshop setting. It is not intended to replace couple’s counselling.

Will I be able to ‘fix’ my relationship, by attending this session?

This workshop focusses on building awareness and healthy respect for yourself, your partner, and your relationship. It is not intended to ‘fix’ or ‘change’ anyone. Each couple will take back their own learning and awareness and there are no guarantees.

Can I attend this online?

This workshop is best experienced in-person. The workshop is designed for you to be with your partner; share connection and energy while being in the physical space. So we do not have an online version.
