Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) is a modality of couple’s counseling that focuses on facilitating the emergence of a “Conscious Relationship,” one in which both partners are aware of their own and each others’ past, patterns, feelings, and ways of relating. This awareness in turn helps partners take things less personally, show more curiosity and understanding toward each other, and heal and grow together. Imago concentrates on the twin tasks of reducing negativity and increasing positivity within the relationship, using a variety of tools and strategies. The main vehicle for both of these undertakings is the Imago Dialogue – a highly structured communication format that allows each partner to be truly heard, validated, and understood. The Dialogue is practiced and refined in each session so that couples can utilize its potent connecting power in their everyday lives and unlock the deep, fulfilling love that leads us to feeling fully alive.
