When asked why I’ve chosen Imago Relationship Therapy as my approach to couples’ therapy,
I answer:
• Do you want to feel that your partner really listens to you? • Do you want to feel that your partner really understands you?
• Do you want to feel seen by your partner?
• Do you want to feel that your partner is present for you?
• Do you want to feel safe in the space between the two of you?
• Do you wish to experience a sense of intimacy again? A sense of closeness and passion with your partner?
I believe that most of us would answer yes to all those questions. I also know that all different approaches to couple therapy are aiming towards achieving these same goals. I worked with couples long before I discovered Imago (18 years ago), and when I did, I fell in love with it and couldn’t go back to any other way of working with couples.
I discovered that Imago is the most effective and fastest therapy to bring couples closer to the relationship of their dreams. Aside from being an advance psychological theory, it incorporates an extensive toolbox that help couples practice and implement the theory while growing their relationships. With an Imago therapist guidance, the two partners experience a shift in the dynamic of the relationship. The shift can be felt as fast as the first session, when each of the partners experiences their partner’s presence, experiences being heard, understood, and seen by their partner, like never before. When both experience that from their partner, the road for solving conflicts gets to be much smoother, with mutual respect and acceptance. The space between them becomes a safe place for both. That is why I chose to work with Imago Therapy.
In Imago, curiosity plays a major role in the healing journey of the relationship. So, if you are curious to know if and how Imago works, I invite you to try it for yourself. The worst that can happen is that you will finally arrive at the relationship of your dreams.
