Dr. Robert Navarra is the guest on this episode and discusses the balanced way a couple can simultaneously work recovery while focusing on alternatives to codependency. Dr. Navarra is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Gottman Therapist and Master Trainer, and holds National Certification as a Master Addiction Counselor. He is a popular presenter at national conferences, podcasts, and webinars. He has trained counselors and therapists nationally and internationally. Dr. Navarra has co-authored several book chapters with Drs. John and Julie Gottman and co-authored articles on Gottman Therapy for the Encyclopedia of Couple and Family Therapy with Dr. John Gottman. Additionally, Dr. Navarra contributed an article on couple recovery from addiction for the Encyclopedia of Couple and Family Therapy. Based on his research at Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto California, Dr. Navarra created Roadmap for the Journey: A Path for Couple Recovery, a two-day workshop for couples in recovery from an addictive disorder. Roadmap for the Journey has been a featured workshop at Hazelden Betty Ford and has been given at treatment programs as well as in small, semi-private workshop settings. Dr. Navarra and Dr. John Gottman are currently researching the impact of Roadmap for the Journey in helping couples integrate recovery in their relationship, a missing element in most treatment programs.
