Your practitioner is trained in Gottman Method Therapy (GMT). GMT is a research-based relationship therapy that diagnoses caustic behaviours and seeks to promote friendship, the creation of shared meaning, and the management of conflict. Interventions focus on increasing emotional intimacy, promoting rituals of connection, and lancing behaviours and attitudes such as defensiveness, criticism, contempt, stonewalling, and emotional distancing.
Sessions are offered in 90-minute increments as they are in-depth, memorable, effective for addressing emergent situations, and sufficient for completing structured interventions. Massing sessions (bunching them closer together in the first month), creates a more effective schedule of therapy than infrequent and longer enduring schedules such as 50-minute sessions once every two weeks on an ongoing basis.

Your practitioner is trained in Lifespan Integration therapy (LI). Used in this context, LI is an effective approach to helping people understand and process traumas and regrettable incidents that have occurred within their relationships and breakups.

By reading aloud a chronological timeline of the relationship, a regrettable incident (such as a domestic fight), or a trauma, the you will re-experience the targeted memory (the trauma) almost as if you were watching a movie inside of your head. After several renditions of one timeline, you will begin to re-experience salient emotions and thoughts within the memory and address what you needed at the time the trauma occurred. This allows you to re-experience and re-code the memory with new insights, awareness, and meanings that were absent before.
