Discover The 7 Key Principles Of Gottman's Couples Therapy - The Sound Relationship House

Are you finding it hard to connect and communicate effectively with your partner? Do you feel like you're going around in circles, arguing over the same things again and again? Whether you're facing challenges or simply looking to enhance your already good relationship, we're here to guide you through the journey from the ground up to the attic of the Sound Relationship House Theory. This theory serves as a roadmap for nurturing healthy and fulfilling relationships, offering seven foundational levels to explore together. Join us as we delve into the fundamentals of Gottman Couple’s Therapy and discover how to build stronger and happier connections.

  1. Love Maps: This is where it all begins—the foundation of your relationship house. It's about knowing each other deeply and keeping those connections strong by asking questions and updating your knowledge.

  2. Fondness and Admiration: Imagine the second story of your house, filled with appreciation and respect. It's about focusing on the positives and building a culture of appreciation and respect.

  3. Turning Towards: Everyday moments are opportunities to strengthen your emotional connection. It's about being aware of each other's needs and choosing to turn towards them with love and support.

  4. Positive Perspective: Building on the previous levels, this creates an environment where positive feelings can flourish. Overcoming negativity and fostering problem-solving and discussions filled with positivity are key.

  5. Managing Conflict: Conflict is inevitable and necessary to all relationships, but how you handle it matters. Whether it's resolving issues together or navigating perpetual problems, effective communication and understanding are key.

  6. Life Dreams and Aspirations: Your relationship isn't just about the present—it's also about the future you envision together. By supporting each other's dreams and aspirations, you create a strong emotional connection that lasts.

  7. Creating Shared Meaning: At the top of your relationship house is the attic, where you both build a life full of meaning and shared experiences. It's about creating rituals, sharing stories, and establishing a unique culture that reflects your bond.
