Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman Q&A | Unit 8

Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman Q&A | Unit 8// In today’s youtube video Joe speaks with Dr. Julie Gottman. Dr. Julie Gottman answers the question that was asked around - How do you help a couple when one spouse is being dragged to couples counseling?

Dr. Julie Gottman starts off by telling us that you have to totally validate your partner. They might be feeling awful and feel like they are about to air their dirty laundry in front of someone. They may also feel like they are about to get “nailed”.
So it is very important as a therapist to give them lots of emotional validations, as well as thanking them for the courage to show up. You will also have to bend over backward to build trust right away, and it’s very important that you are empathizing deeply so that that person feels seen, heard, and understood. You will need to empathize with them both.
