Course Description

Even the best relationship can sometimes use a little work. Most people experience some conflict in their relationship at some point in time. These can range from frequent miscommunication, not feeling heard, feeling as if your needs are not being met, feeling misunderstood, or other patterns that often feel chronic and unsolvable. Imago therapy was developed to help any couple improve their relationship with easy to implement exercises and activities. These powerful tools are used in couple's therapy and marriage counseling to help work with various relationship issues.

In this course you will get expert advice and insight on:

  • What causes conflict in your relationships.
  • How your childhood experiences influence partner selection.
  • How to identify what you most need from your partner.
  • How to request what you need from your partner.
  • The Imago Dialogue: A method to help you talk with your partner about virtually anything.

This course is meant to be taken with your partner, and is designed for any couple that wants to find more satisfaction in their relationship.

Imago therapy for relationship problems is highly effective, and has positively affected thousands of couples around the world. This powerful form of therapy was developed 25 years ago by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt and popularized book "Getting the Love You Want", a million copy bestseller.
