Imago is a form of couples therapy developed by Harville Hendrix and his wife Helen LaKelly Hunt. Imago has a proven track record of helping couples regain connection through improved understanding. This is acvhieved by the structured Imago dialogue. It’s a communication style that ensures each person is heard and understood with compassion - that works both ways for each person in the relationship.

Imago dialogue helps dissolve disagreements and stop the arguments. There’s no need to shout or insult each other because this is a better way to say what you need and create a more harmonious relationship.

Imago therapy helps you co-create a meaningful vision for your future, using the tools to make the dream a reality.

The model of relationship in Imago says that conflict is predictable because each of you is trying to get your needs met. The good news is that Imago shows you how to use conflict more creatively to transform your relationship.

Imago therapy is based on the premise that individuals are attracted to partners who will trigger unconscious aspects of their childhood wounds, and that by understanding and healing those wounds, couples can create a deep and meaningful connection. Imago Dialogue helps couples to identify their core needs and triggers, and to communicate them to their partner in a non-confrontational and safe way. Through guided exercises and communication techniques, couples are able to deepen their emotional intimacy and learn the skills necessary to sustain a long-term, fulfilling relationship.

Imago therapy has been shown to be effective in helping couples improve their communication, increase their understanding both self and their partners and build a deeper sense of connection and intimacy.
