Gottman level 3 is the workshop that allows you to do continued work on understanding the method, knowing how to handle difficult cases, and having the chance to staff your cases & show videos of cases. This is the final step before entering the certification track. Class is 9am-4:30pm Pacific time each day. Cancellation Policy: If you cancel more than 3 weeks prior to the event you will get a full refund minus $50 fee. If you cancel less than 3 weeks before the event you will receive credit for future training.
Video submission
Participants are asked to bring a short (ten minute or so) video segment of difficult and challenging couples to the Level 3 workshop. The video taped 10 minute conflict sample will work. The therapist’s work with the couple will not be critiqued; in fact the video does not even need to show the therapist; just seeing the couple is all that is needed. The purpose will be to use these couples to illustrate how the Gottman Method can be applied to these tough cases. Participants will then have the opportunity to practice using the interventions in a supportive small group setting with other participants’ role playing the couples from the videos. Bringing a video tape is highly encouraged but not required.
