Imago Relationship Therapy

Harville & Helen

What is Imago Relationship Therapy?

Imago Relationship Therapy was developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix, and
is focused on turning you and your partner towards each other. The therapist is there as a guide to hold a safe space in which real, useful communication can take place. Imago Theory believes you can reclaim the vibrant, loving intimacy you once enjoyed. It’s a question of using the right tools.

With Imago Relationship Therapy you learn:

To communicate with your partner in a way that allows you to hear and be heard
How and why we select the partners we do
Where the fundamental conflicts comes from
How your conflict is actually “growth trying to happen”
To identify the ways we accidentally (unconsciously) interfere with getting the love we want

The aim of Imago Relationship Therapy is to:

Build connection
Transform the relationship from conflict and frustration to healing and growth
Create loving relationship, deliberately, on purpose and intentionally
Create a conscious relationship

Who is Harville Hendrix?

Harville Hendrix published Getting The Love You Want in 1988, and made a huge impact on the field of marriage counseling. He deliberately presents a clear, simple to follow map, with which couples can explore their deepest emotions. Hendrix has the kind of brilliance that could understand the whole field of psychotherapy from Freud onwards, and synthesize it into an approach that made sense to the couple in the street. No longer was couples counseling fumbling in the darkness of marital strife. Hendrix helps couples take their deepest conflict and transform it into the pathway to lasting bliss.

For a quarter of a century Imago Relationship Therapy has grown to become a theory respected worldwide for providing couples therapy in over 32 countries.

In 2013 bestselling authors Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt released Making Marriage Simple: Ten Truths for Changing the Relationship You Have into the One You Want offers the practical tools needed to transform one’s relationship into a rewarding and joyous marriage.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
― Rumi
