What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life–
to strengthen each other in all labour, to rest on each other in all sorrow,
to minister to each other in all pain…
– George Eliot

IMAGINE
Imagine being able to talk to your partner about anything in a space free of blame, criticism, and anger. Imagine your partner being curious about how you feel instead of blocking and rebutting what you have to say. Imagine your partner being your champion and port of safety in the storm. Imagine reigniting the love you had at the beginning of your relationship and growing it over the course of a lifetime.
A successful long-term relationship contains many things – beauty, disappointment, anger, joy, gratitude, and sometimes even despair. It is not always happy. It is rarely easy. Even the best of relationships cannot escape periods of conflict, frustration, and disappointment. When couples lack skills to address and resolve problems and differences it leads to anger, fighting, and distance that cast a shadow over the love that brought you together.
READY TO BEGIN ANEW?
As a certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I can help you build, rebuild, or sustain a loving connection that can grow over a lifetime. Safe communication is at the heart of Imago Relationship Therapy. You will learn to express your feelings and needs in a way that can be heard and understood by your partner. Simultaneously you will practice listening to your partner with curiosity and empathy instead of judgment and rebuttal. This kind of speech is healing and can breakdown the protective walls that separate partners from each other.
Imago Relationship Therapy helps couples rediscover the most positive aspects of their relationship. During our sessions each partner will offer and receive recognition and appreciation. You will give and receive support and understanding around past and current hurts. You will co-create a shared vision of the relationship you would like to have. You will have the skills to live that vision.
