Week 2

Review: The Conflict Blueprint

We’ll review Gottman’s Conflict Blueprint and design a roadmap to navigate conflict around the perpetual issue more effectively starting in week 2.

Seeking Understanding & Mutually Sharing Emotional Validation

The core communication skill you’ll learn over the next few months is the Gottman-Rapoport. This speaker/listener formula will help you deepen your emotional connection and outside of conflict.

What You’ll Need

The GR conversation

Practice

Now is your chance to deepen your understanding of any remaining gridlock around your shared dream and practice the compromise dialogue.

  1. Try one GR dialogue over the next week, you’ll want to practice this conversation 3-4 times while in treatment.

  2. Continue daily mindful breathing and self-care practices.

*Clients who’ve experienced infidelity usually begin treatment differently.
