John Gottman – Level 1 Training: Bridging the Couple Chasm, A Workshop

Train with Trish Purnell-Webb and John Flanagan – Certified Gottman Therapists, Advanced Clinical Trainers & Gottman Institute Consultants. We also welcome Gottman Clinical Level 1 Trainer – Campbell MacBean, Psychologist, Clinical Supervisor & Certified Gottman Therapist. Relationship Institute Australasia is one of the lead agencies in Australia in Gottman training and therapist certification. A truly inspiring workshop, Level 1 Training will give you new insights into treatment for couples who struggle, using research-based assessments and effective interventions.

Our practical, emotion-focused, and highly effective approach is based on Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s four decades of research with more than 3,000 couples. It is the most extensive study ever done on marital stability and divorce prediction.

In this workshop, you will be provided with a research-based roadmap for helping couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams based on the Sound Relationship House Theory.

You will learn research-based strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict. You will gain skills to empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues by uncovering their underlying dreams, history, and values. You will gain tools to help couples process fights and heal their hurts, and techniques for partners to deepen their intimacy and minimize relapse.

At the completion of this training, you will be able to:

–  How couples really sustain their marriages–in contrast to common myths and misconceptions.

–  How the quality of relationships affects the immune system, physical health and well-being.

–  How marital problems change over time but never go away–even in happy couples.

–  Proven strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict

–  Skills that empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues

–  Approaches for multiple presenting co-morbidities including incest, the effects of poverty, PTSD and infidelity

–  Methods to help couples process their fights and heal their hurts

–  Techniques for couples to deepen their intimacy and minimize relapse

After this workshop you will complete a quiz to gain your official Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 Training Certificate as well as a CPD certificate of 12 hours.
