Imago therapy is based on the theories and work of Harville Hendrix who wrote the bestseller "Getting the Love You Want".

Imago At a Glance... Some key points of Imago are:

• Falling in love is amazing -- we feel complete and whole.
  
• After a while we often feel frustrated with our partner, and have painful disagreements.
  
• The pain is particularly acute because frustrations with our partner usually remind us of some painful experiences from our past.
  
• It doesn't make sense why our partner gets upset over the things we argue about. We may imagine they are just doing it to hurt us.
  
• The Imago dialogue is a process which makes it easier to understand our partner, without feeling threatened ourselves.
  
• When we do understand that our partner's experience is so different from ours, they make sense! Then we find it easier to meet their needs. And they find it easier to meet ours!
  
• With our new understanding, we can learn to stretch a little more to provide what our partner needs.
  
• Imago provides a whole set of relationship fitness exercises to guide us through the process.
  
• Imago workshops and relationship counseling can help you build the strongest and most rewarding relationship.
