there a big difference between the work I might do with an Imago Therapist versus other forms of marriage counseling?
The main difference between Imago therapy and traditional marriage counseling is that Imago therapists believe that individuals heal from the wounding of early development by creating emotional safety while in relationship with another. This focus on the relationship as a process for healing sets Imago apart from other forms of marriage therapy where the emphasis is on the individual and on negotiating contracts. Imago therapy creates meaningful communication and interaction between you and your partner. You will spend much of your time in dialogue, while the therapist acts as your guide and coach.
