About the Gottman Method
What is the Gottman Method?
The Gottman Method is an approach to couples therapy developed by Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman, based on over 40 years of research with thousands of couples. It's one of the most studied and validated approaches in relationship science.
Do I need to be in therapy to use Gottman-based tools?
No. Many Gottman-based principles and skills can be learned and practiced independently. Our course makes these tools accessible outside of a clinical setting.
Is Deeper Connecting officially affiliated with the Gottman Institute?
No — Deeper Connecting is an independent platform that draws on publicly available Gottman research and principles, alongside other evidence-based approaches.
