*Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) - Helping couples find intimacy, passion and safety in their relationship... Imago Therapy, based on the work of Dr. Harville Hendrix, is a highly effective approach to couples counselling. The underlying premise of IRT is that just as we are wounded in relationship, we can also be healed through relationship. Imago Theory maintains that through our early childhood experiences, we develop an unconscious 'imago' (image) that plays a powerful role in the partner selection process, as well as in how we later perceive our partner as the relationship develops over time. The Imago therapist helps clients become more conscious of their patterns of behavior, how they developed over time, and how they can begin to change these patterns. Clients also learn to use a very powerful and effective communication tool called the 'dialogue process,' which makes it possible to understand each other without feeling threatened or attacked...
