Gottman Method Therapy (GMT)
Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman
Based on John Gottman and collaborators’ four decades of research examining the patterns of couples who are happy and fulfilled in their relationships (“The Masters”) versus those who are dissatisfied or ultimately decide to separate.
This research found typical characteristics of couples who do not stay together, which they identify as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, including Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness and Stonewalling.
“You can spend a lifetime being curious about the inner world of your partner, and being brave enough to share your own inner world, and never be done discovering all there is to know about each other.”
— John M. Gottman, Ph.D., co-creator of Gottman Method Couples Therapy
