IMAGO COUPLES THERAPY

Couples therapy IS:

Talking with your partner in a physically and emotionally safe space

Disagreeing without arguing and shouting

Understanding the disagreement and using it to inform future action and seeing it as opportunity for deeper connection

Discovering what unconscious beliefs and ideas you have around romantic relationships, your partner and the roles you play that if unexpressed cause havoc in your home

Identifying where you might be compromising or disowning your own needs and desires

"Therapy with Bec has given me better perspective

and understanding of myself and the people in my life, which I have found way more helpful than traditional psychology methods.

The few sessions I have had have honestly been more helpful than any other style of therapy I have ever tried."

"Bec has provided clarity around the root causes that have contributed to our tension and challenges.

The tools and strategies have allowed us to think and discuss things differently and we can start to make some conscious changes.

As we continue therapy, we become better engaged, connected and are much happier and more positive about our future".

Imago therapists approach therapy with a belief that:

All couples naturally approach a stage of conflict after the romantic stage wears off.....This conflict is actually an opportunity to explore what past experiences and pain we have not processed are impacting dynamics within the current relationship. We can use this pain to motivate growth; or avoid it and find coping mechanisms.

We live in a culture where emotional maturation is rare. Many of us have not emotionally matured and operate primarily unconsciously. Without the tools or experiences to regulate and chose a response to stimulus around us, most couples wind up in highly emotionally-charged, self-protective war zones. This is symptomatic of a lack of experience within a culture to teach the skills required; not any dysfunction or 'problem' with the individuals.

Your partner is attracted to you (and you to your partner) because you were just the right blend of what they want more of and what hurts you the most. This puts them in the best place to support both their own growth and yours in a multidimensional healing process, all within the framework of an existing relationship.
