Gottman-Rapoport Intervention
Gottman-Rapoport Intervention is a conflict communication tool for Gottman Method couples therapists and clinicians using Gottman-style interventions. It helps practitioners guide partners through expressing perspectives, listening, offering validation, and checking whether each partner feels heard before compromise or problem solving.
Open a sample conflict topic, guide both sides of the conversation, and review the two-sided conflict map.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Not A Compromise Plan
The tool prepares a clearer shared basis for later compromise or problem solving. It does not create the compromise plan itself.
Partial And Stopped States
If validation is missing, one partner does not feel heard, or the conversation escalates, the result remains partial or stopped for practitioner review.
Does the demo include exact worksheet prompts?
No. Exact prompt and worksheet structure are unresolved in the supplied specification, so the demo uses only the supported generic conversation structure.
Does the tool decide when a conflict is resolved?
No. It tracks whether perspectives, listening, validation, and heard/understood status are present; the practitioner decides the next step.
Can one partner say they do not feel heard?
Yes. The result remains incomplete or partial rather than marking mutual understanding complete.
Can this be used as assigned practice?
Yes. Assigned mode is supported, alongside live clinician-guided use.
