"We used to be so close"
Unhappy with your relationship or just missing the passion and intimacy?
Do not wait until it’s too late. Research shows that many couples only seek counselling when one or both partners have made the decision to split. Working on your relationship NOW may be the best investment you could ever make.
I use skills from a number of modalities and I am greatly inspired by the Imago model for relational work. Imago therapy is a well researched and very efficient relationship therapy that is widely used in Europe and USA. A basic belief in Imago is that people have a built-in striving towards self-completion. They do not fall in love so that they can hurt and disappoint each other. Unfortunately, this is often what happens after the first romance because people are reacting to each other based on their very early experiences. They both carry their unconscious image of love - Imago- around as a hidden but heavy baggage in the relationship. The majority of relationships end with painful power struggles often expressed by:
- Frequent arguments or emotional distance.
- Lack of respect.
- No intimacy
Working with an Imago couple’s therapist can facilitate healing and growth. In Imago therapy we do not teach couples to solve problems; we help them function in their relationship with one another in such a way that problems dissolve.Imago couple’s therapy can teach you to listen and understand each other better, to find joy, and to reintroduce fun and passion in the relationship, and to move from an unconscious relationship where things just happen and emotions are in control - to a conscious relationship where each partner knows and takes responsibility for what happens.
Imago therapy can help you if:
- You have a good relationship and want to take it to a whole new level and make it a phenomenal one.
- You are beginning a relationship you want to keep.
- You are in a difficult relationship with recurrent conflicts.
- You are near break-up and want to decide if the relationship can be saved.
Learn why the very quality that attracted you to each other now often drives you crazy and how to get to the root of your problems and dissolve them.
