A CLOSER LOOK

What to know about The Relationship Place · San Diego

The Relationship Place separates the clinical intensive from the surrounding visit to San Diego. Preparation gives the practitioner a detailed picture before the appointment, while the couple arranges lodging, travel and time outside sessions.

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.
