What this episode covers

In EPISODE 70 of The Therapy4Dads Podcast, we are joined by Justin Pere, a certified Gottman therapist with extensive experience in working with hundreds of couples. Justin shares his journey as a therapist and how he transitioned from working with older adults to focusing on young people. He started his own practice called Clarity Counseling in Seattle 13 years ago and decided to market his services specifically to men, drawing from his personal experience and knowledge as an adult male in relationships. Justin received training in couples therapy, specifically in EFT and the Gottman Method. He expanded his practice to work with women and all gender expressions by marketing more to couples. He also received training in sex and intimacy therapy, becoming a relationship therapist with expertise in sex therapy.  During the episode, Justin delves into the Gottman Method developed by John and Julie Gottman, who are known for their extensive research on relationships. This method includes conversations, activities, concepts, mnemonics, and skills to improve relationships, emphasizing restoring connection, emotional intimacy, and healthy conflict.  Justin breaks down Gottman's "Sound Relationship House [https://www.gottman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Sounds-Relationship-House-600x776.jpg]" which is a helpful visual representation of a healthy relationship.  Join us on this episode of The Therapy4Dads Podcast as we dive deep into the Gottman Method with Justin Pere, exploring practical strategies to strengthen relationships and create lasting connections.
