What is Imago Relationship Therapy?
Imago Relationship Therapy is a form of couple counseling that suggests that your marriage is therapy—you become healed not by a counselor but by the relationship itself. Unresolved childhood pain such as abandonment, rejection, smothering, shame and helplessness often resurface in your marriage, which is the core of what is causing the pain and conflict in your relationship. The partner you chose, your ‘imago match,’ is often the best person to help you heal because he or she is similar to your childhood caretakers in emotionally significant ways.
