Are clients provided with videotapes of therapy sessions to enhance their therapy experience?

In the realm of Gottman's Method Couples Therapy, clients are not typically provided with videotapes of their therapy sessions. This approach emphasizes the therapeutic process and personal interaction rather than utilizing recorded sessions. The focus is on building a strong relationship between the therapist and the clients, where real-time communication and feedback are paramount.

While some therapeutic modalities may use video for educational purposes or to help clients gain insight into their own behaviors, in Gottman’s Method, therapists generally prefer to maintain a dynamic and present-focused environment. This allows partners to engage more fully in the moment, which can be crucial for their emotional connection and understanding. Thus, the practice of providing recorded sessions does not align with the standard procedures in this specific method of therapy.
