Gottman’s 7 Principles of Making Relationships Work (modified to include ENM relationships) - Series

We’ve offered this as one-per-week, one-per-month, and as a weekend intensive.

Gottman’s seminal research revealed relationship strategies that work along with relationship behaviors that are ultimately destructive. His work offers many practical guidelines for how to keep love alive and grow intimacy in your relationships.

While Gottman’s work has been regularly applied to couples of all orientations, we have adapted his work for people either engaging in or considering consensual non-monogamy (CNM). Anyone can attend and benefit from these sessions regardless of your current relationship status - solo poly, dyad, triad, etc!

The weekly and monthly series are open, meaning that you do not need to attend all of the sessions to participate. However, we recommend that each participant familiarize themselves with Gottman’s overarching principles and research by either reading The Seven Principals of Making Marriage Work (unfortunate title as many of us are not married), or attending one of our in-depth workshops on Gottman’s work (e.g., Love Maps & Pleasure Maps).

Principle 0: Avoid the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
Principle 1: Create & Update Your Love Maps
Principles 2-4: Turn Towards Each Other Instead of Away
Principles 5-6: Solve Your Solvable Problems & Overcoming Gridlock
Principle 7: Create Shared Meaning
