In couples therapy, the ability to see both viewpoints is crucial. It fosters empathy, allowing partners to understand each other's feelings and experiences more deeply. This understanding promotes fairness, ensuring that both partners feel heard and valued in the relationship.

Moreover, seeing both viewpoints encourages effective communication. It enables partners to express themselves more clearly and listen more attentively, leading to more constructive conversations. This approach also facilitates problem-solving, as couples can work together to find solutions that address both partners' needs and concerns.

Using the Gottman Couples Method, I work with couples to strengthen their relationships by focusing on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning. This approach is based on Drs. John and Julie Gottman's extensive research and helps couples develop skills to enhance their communication, deepen their connection, and navigate challenges effectively. Through structured exercises and interventions, couples learn to understand each other's perspectives, strengthen their emotional bond, and build a more fulfilling partnership.
