Trust Recovery Program:
Reconstructing Your Relationship Using The Gottman Approach

The Center for Relationships offers a unique Trust Recovery Program designed using the Gottman Approach to create an accelerated process of recovery to help you & your partner put the past behind you & recreate a new relationship that’s worth having.

• Are you dealing with betrayal or broken trust in your relationship?
• Are you experiencing frustration, escalating negativity & losing hope between couples therapy sessions?
• Are you looking for a structured intensive process using a research backed approach?
• Are you in distress & motivated for trust recovery tools now?

Conventional couples therapy alone can often take longer for couples to see meaningful progress on trust recovery. Our Signature Trust Recovery Program allows you to get past the pain & begin the process of rebuilding trust using research-based Gottman Method tools.

The Gottman Approach is based on a three-stage model called Atone, Attune, Attach that is outlined in the book What Makes Love Last? by John Gottman & Nan Silver.

• Atone = The Past: The first stage involves the couple processing the past injury & the involved partner taking responsibility for their choices & actions. This stage also involves the couple discussing the details of what happened, when it happened, and how it affected the relationship.

• Attune = The Present: The second stage involves the couple working together to rebuild their emotional connection. This includes developing a deeper understanding of each other's emotional needs, communicating openly and honestly, and actively listening to each other.

• Attach = The Future: The final stage involves the couple recommitting to each other and the relationship. This includes creating new shared experiences and building a positive vision for the future of the relationship.

The Gottman Method is based on the Sound Relationship House model that was developed by Drs. John & Julie Gottman after 40+ years of systematic research into what makes relationships healthy or dysfunctional. Betrayal impacts the weight-bearing walls of your Sound Relationship House and can make your world feel like it’s crumbling. Our Trust Recovery Program is designed to help you move through the first stage, Atone, at a faster pace than weekly couples therapy alone so that you can let the past go & begin working on the present & future.

Trust Recovery Program Sequence:

• Private initial couples assessment with one of our Gottman trained therapists to create a personalized plan to jump-start your journey
• 4-hour Understanding the Journey intensive couples workshop to lay down the foundation
• 8-week Fundamentals of Trust Recovery group for each partner (separate groups for each partner)
• 8-week individual therapy for each partner, designed to be scheduled concurrently with the 8-week group

After the 8-week program, couples can continue through their recovery journey of relationship reconstruction with:
• Couples therapy to complete the Atone stage & move into the Attune stage of the recovery process
• Ongoing support groups (separate groups for each partner) to provide support for relationship health

Our Gottman trained relationship therapists use proven techniques based on cutting-edge research & methods to assist in your trust recovery journey. This Trust Recovery program will put you on the right path to full recovery.
