Couple’s therapy approaches:

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is like a relationship GPS, helping couples navigate the twists and turns of their journey together. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, it's not just about solving problems but creating a map for a stronger connection.

Imagine your relationship as a house. The method looks at the foundation (trust and commitment), the walls (communication), and the roof (shared dreams). It's all about making sure your house is sturdy and can weather any storm.

One key part is "Love Maps," which is like having a detailed tour of your partner's world – knowing their likes, dislikes, and dreams. It's the GPS telling you where to go to keep the connection alive.

Then there's "The Four Horsemen" - these are the communication habits that can bring storm clouds to your relationship: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. The method helps you swap these out for better habits, like expressing needs and appreciating each other.

It's not just about fixing things when they break; it's about routine check-ups to make sure your relationship stays strong and resilient. The Gottman Method is like having a mechanic for your relationship, ensuring it runs smoothly for the long haul.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach in couples therapy that focuses on emotions and the patterns of interaction between partners. Here's a more relatable explanation:

Imagine your relationship as a dance, with each partner having their unique steps. EFT helps you understand the music of emotions in this dance. It's like having a skilled dance instructor guiding you to move in harmony, creating a stronger and more connected dance routine.

In EFT, the therapist helps you and your partner explore the emotions underlying your interactions. It's a bit like unraveling the layers of a story – understanding not just the words spoken but the feelings behind them. By doing this, you can rewrite the dance steps, replacing negative patterns with ones that foster closeness and security.

Think of EFT as a language lesson for emotions. It helps you both express your feelings and needs more clearly, fostering a deeper understanding between you. It's not about blaming or changing who you are but about creating a dance that resonates with both of you, bringing you closer together.
