BEFORE YOU GO
The experience, in more detail
The assessment needs its own time
The provider describes a 480-question Gottman assessment taking roughly 90 minutes per person. Each partner completes it separately. Allow enough time before the intensive for both questionnaires to be submitted and reviewed.
Responses are completed privately
The assessment information says answers are confidential, not visible to the other partner, and can be saved to finish later. Ask the therapist how findings will be discussed together and how sensitive information is handled.
Build the getaway around the appointments
Couples arrange their own hotel or other stay, leisure plans and childcare. Ask for the office location and confirmed session schedule before filling the trip with activities. Free time outside the appointment should not be counted as therapy time.
