GOTTMAN COUPLES WEEKEND WORKSHOP

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF LOVE

3-DAY WORKSHOP
PRESENTED BY:
DR. JACK CROSSEN
CO-PRESENTER:
CARALEE FREDERIC, LCSW

DATES: PENDING| FRIDAY-SATURDAY-SUNDAY

LOCATION: SKAMANIA LODGE,
STEVENSON, WASHINGTON

COST: PENDING

This is a private event.

This is a special presentation hosted by a health & wellness association, and is open to its members who are medical professionals and their spouses. This workshop features The Art and Science of Love, a couples workshop created by The Gottman Institute. Dr. Crossen will also draw upon his extensive clinical experience as a counselor for medical students and their spouses.

Whether your relationship is in distress or just needs a few adjustments, The Art and Science of Love is designed to help couples do better. Feel something is missing from your relationship? On-going fights over the same disagreements? Sex life has getting a bit mundane? Feel like you’re slowly drifting apart? We cover all these issues and, don’t worry, we’re discreet. Group discussion of your private matters is not allowed.

This extraordinary event is perfect as a weekend getaway for couples to focus on each other, re-connect, and get to the heart of what matters most. Also, if you are dealing with a crisis situation or chronic problems, the workshop is a good stepping stone to determine if private therapy is needed, as well as an effective supplement to ongoing or previous private therapy. This workshop digs deep into the groundbreaking Gottman Institute relationship studies, and will prove invaluable for both newbies and veterans of Gottman methods.
