Imago Therapy

Many therapists are turning to Imago Therapy as an effective tool when working with couples. This type of therapy has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show numerous times and has been proven to be one of the most successful forms of couple's therapy available. In many cases it has taken couples whose marriages are at the point of dissolving and helped them to form a marriage that was actually far stronger than it was on the day that they got married. The word "Imago:" in Imago therapy is actually Latin for image and takes on a special significance in Imago relationship therapy. Couples are taught to look at the love that they felt and associate it with the love they felt as they were growing up in their own families. It helps you to recognize what you must do in order to foster the same levels of love in a relationship.

Only by understanding the love you felt growing up can you begin to understand what you must do to foster the love you want in your relationship. If you were to ask your therapist to explain exactly what Imago therapy is he might tell you that it is a technique used to teach couples the tools they need to make their marriage or relationship work. Such tools might include learning how to bring the unconscious aspects of their thoughts and their relationship to a more conscious level. You will learn how to get to the root of the problems you are having instead of trying to deal with the symptoms without curing the cause. In reality Imago therapy is there to help you learn what you and your partner can do to meet each other's needs. One of the biggest problems in most relationships is that neither party is willing to bend to meet the other in the middle.

With the proper training you will learn how to see what the other person needs and what it will take to make the relationship you cherish be a fulfilling and wonderful as it should be. Of all the tools you will be given with Imago therapy it is learning how to use proper dialogue to help heal the wounds that have been made. Only with this type of healing dialogue can you learn to make the changes that will lead to the personal and relationship growth that you need to strengthen and deepen the love that you share. When you are given these tools you may be surprised at how quickly your relationship blossoms into one that you could only imagine before.
