Patricia Love – Imago Couples Therapy
Description Of Imago Couples Therapy
Pat Love demonstrates the Imago Dialogue Process in an actual couples therapy session. We’re sure you’ll be impressed with Love’s passionate commitment as she takes charge and keeps her clients calm and focused.
Before delving into hot button issues with couples, how do you get them to speak to each other without defenses or explosive arguments running rampant? Imago Couples Therapy provides the structure for your clients to have calm, empathic conversations with each other, no matter the conflict.
In this video, Pat Love demonstrates this process with Kathy and Dave who report that they don’t know how to discuss problems without tensions running high. Dave is afraid to talk to Kathy about his concerns and so they build up. Kathy is losing patience and trust in Dave. Love carefully and adeptly helps Dave communicate fears and requests to Kathy, and patiently helps Kathy reflect them back correctly. The couple leaves the session optimistic, with new tools to communicate their difficulties, and insight into unique ways they can demonstrate their love for each other.
