Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect?

This is an interactive class for single and dating individuals. It is not a group therapy session! The workshop facilitator will share and demo best practices based on Dr. Gottman's Seven Principles for Singles. There will be opportunities to interact with the facilitator and other individuals, as well as time to engage in the activities and discussions privately. All aprticipants are asked to respect the privacy and confidentiality of all who attend.

Does the information presented in this workshop apply to same-sex couples as well?

Yes! This workshop is based on 40+ years of relationship research by Dr. John Gottman and his colleagues (primarily with heterosexual couples). Therefore, the presentation of this program will skew toward heterosexual examples and dynamics. That said, Gottman conducted a 12-year study with a small sample of gay and lesbian couples which revealed these principles and techniques are largely effective and relevant for same-sex couples too. All people interested in strengthening their relationships are welcome and can benefit from the information presented in this workshop, and all Sequence practitioners involved with this workshop are experienced in working with same-sex couples.
