The beginning of couples therapy is especially challenging. We need to establish rapport with two people at the same time. We need to hear and understand each one, but not let them wound the other. We need to calm their intensity, soften their blaming, and frustrate their wanting-to-get-us-on-their-side. We need to give them a positive therapy experience and instill hope. We need to motivate them to continue. We need to explain our policies, get informed consent, and make a next appointment. Doing all this feels impossible. Because it is. Luckily, there is a better way to start couples therapy. I learned it from Dr. John Gottman, modified it, and have used it with more than 500 couples. I’ll be glad to teach you how to do it. The first three sessions are a couples assessment, before we even start couples therapy. What a difference that makes! It works so much better. It’s so much more do-able. You’ll be amazed at what at the change it makes in your practice.
