Gottman Method for Couples

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy developed by renowned psychologists Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It is designed to help couples build stronger, healthier relationships by improving communication, understanding, and conflict resolution skills. This method is rooted in over four decades of scientific research and has been extensively tested and validated. At its core, the Gottman Method focuses on enhancing relationship satisfaction and promoting long-term relationship success. It provides couples with practical tools and strategies to deepen their emotional connection, foster empathy, and create a secure bond built on trust and mutual support. One of the key elements of the Gottman Method is effective communication. Couples are taught techniques for active listening, expressing their needs and concerns, and responding empathetically to their partner's emotions. By improving communication skills, couples can reduce misunderstandings, increase understanding, and strengthen their overall relationship quality. Conflict resolution is another crucial aspect addressed by the Gottman Method. Couples learn healthy ways to manage and resolve conflicts, with a focus on understanding each other's perspectives and finding mutually beneficial solutions. The method helps couples navigate disagreements constructively, reducing the negative impact of conflict on the relationship. The Gottman Method also emphasizes the importance of emotional intimacy. Couples are encouraged to deepen their emotional connection by expressing fondness and admiration for each other, building friendship and trust, and creating shared meaning in their relationship. By fostering emotional intimacy, couples can cultivate a strong and fulfilling partnership. Overall, the Gottman Method is widely recognized as one of the most effective approaches to couples therapy. Its evidence-based techniques have helped countless couples improve their relationship satisfaction, strengthen their communication skills, and develop strategies for long-term relationship success. Therapists trained in the Gottman Method utilize these principles to guide couples towards healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. CBT is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response. If you or someone you know would benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, please reach out today. We would be happy to speak with you about how a Mindfully Healing therapist may be able to help.

Drugs Taken By 1 in 8 People Increase Risk of Death 33%

The surprising effect of these drugs on your heart, kidneys, lungs and liver. Taking antidepressants is linked to a 33% higher risk of death, new research finds. The risk of a cardiovascular ‘event’ (strokes and heart attacks) was also 14% higher for those taking antidepressants. This research used data from hundreds of thousands of people collected from many different studies. Dr Paul Andrews, who led the study, said: “We are very concerned by these results.

How to Begin Healing After Personal Trauma

No one is ever prepared for a tragedy. In fact, most of us go through our lives believing that tragedies happen to other people. When people do experience a distressing or life-threatening event, such as a car accident, natural disaster, or terrorist attack, they often develop extreme anxiety or PTSD. Many develop ongoing problems with their personal relationships and their […]

Key to Relationship Bliss Is Simpler Than You Think, Study Finds

People weigh up all sorts of qualities in potential partners, like intelligence, health, kindness and sexual appeal. It is better to settle for the best relationship available than to hold out for a perfect match, a new study suggests. Our satisfaction with our partners depends on the other relationships available to us — or as psychologists call it: the ‘dating pool’. Dr Daniel Conroy-Beam, the study’s first author, said: “Satisfaction and happiness are not as clear cut as we think they are. We do not need ideal partners for relationship

5 Common Prescription Drugs Linked To Memory Loss

Prescription drugs taken by millions of people around the world can affect memory. Memory loss is not always a result of ageing. Here are five types of drugs that can affect memory. 1. Antidepressants (tricyclic) The older type of antidepressants — known as tricyclics — have been linked to memory loss. Some of the drug names include: desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil), clomipramine (Anafranil), and doxepin (Sinequan). Around half of people taking them report problems concentrating and one-third say they have memory loss. 2. Anxiety drugs Benzodiazepines include drugs marketed under

The Yeasty Spread That May Be A Brain Food

Neurotransmitter levels are boosted by consuming a spread popular in the UK and Australia. Eating marmite increases certain neurotransmitter levels, new research finds. Marmite is a yeast-based spread popular in the UK, that many say is disgusting. It makes use of the sludgy leftovers from the beer-making process. Along with being popular in the UK, its Australian cousin ‘Vegemite’ is popular there too, despite an equally horrible taste. The key seems to be that Marmite (and Vegemite) are fortified with vitamin B12. Ms Anika Smith, the study’s first author, said:

If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.

Family-Based Counseling

Family-Based Therapy (FBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on addressing and resolving psychological and emotional issues within the context of the family unit. It is widely used to treat various mental health and behavioral problems, and its effectiveness has made it a popular choice for families seeking help and support.

Grief & Bereavement Counseling

Bereavement and grief aren’t light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness. The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors. Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
