What is Imago?
How Does Imago Work?
What is Imago?
Imago Relationship Therapy was created by Dr. Harville Hendrix and is outlined in his book for couples, "Getting the Love You Want" and his book for singles, " Keeping the Love You Find". For parents, his book "Giving the Love That Heals" addresses skills which strengthen the parent-child relationship through conscious parenting.
Imago Relationship Therapy views frustration and conflict as opportunities for growth. People are taught how to use the tools of "conscious dialog" and are tutored in active listening,validation and empthy.
Imago is a unique approach that is useful in working with individuals, couples and families. The theory proposes that we are born in relationship, we experience hurt and challenge in relationship, hence the most effective path to our healing must occur in the context of our relationships. As sensitive beings, there are two main contributors to the frustration we often experience with others;
- An "unawareness" of how our own history and that of our partner impacts our perceptions, areas of sensitivity and our communication style.
- A lack of knowledge and skill in effective, conscious communication.
