What
is IMAGO Relationship Therapy?
Imago theory says relationships have an unconscious purpose. It
says that we unconsiously select a partner who has some of the positive and
negative traits of our primary caretakers because we are trying to get the
emotional needs met that were not met in our childhood with someone like our
parents. So unbeknownst to us, we are drawn to partners like our parents.
The difficulties we experience arise from our lack of awareness about what we're doing in our relationships, not
from our choice of partners. "Being the
right partner is more important than
picking the right partner."
When we remain unaware of the hidden agenda of love and
conflict, we keep making the same mistakes. We need to understand that conflict is actually growth trying to happen. By resolving our problems through Imago dialogue and
other processes, the emotional bond initially created in the early stages of a
relationship can evolve into the powerful bond that is real love.
This unique approach to therapy is focused on personal growth
and healing through committed relationships.
Imago Relationship Therapy was developed by Harville Hendrix and his
wife Helen LaKelly Hunt from the exclusive study of couples. These intensive,
