Imago Relationship Therapy was created by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. Their books on Imago Relationship Therapy, Getting The Love You Want: A Guide For Couples; Keeping The Love You Find: A Personal Guide; Giving The Love That Heals: A Guide For Parents; and three companion books on meditation and exercises, have sold more than two million copies and have been translated into more than 50 languages.

When considering Imago Relationship Therapy you might want to ask yourself the following questions:

• Are you currently in a relationship that’s in trouble?
• Are you wondering what happened to the person you fell in love with? Wouldn't you like to rediscover the love you once had and make it last forever?
• Are you a newlywed or a couple preparing for marriage wishing to create a true partnership that will stand the test of time?
• Are you single and simply tired of getting into relationships that never seem to meet your needs?

When we fall in love, it’s supposed to be forever. We meet the person of our dreams and a magical transformation takes place within us. We feel alive, whole, connected to the world and the people in it. Then, before we know it, that magical feeling disappears. Disillusioned, our dreams shattered, we begin to feel angry and betrayed. We try to coerce our partners into giving us what we need. We criticize, withdraw, shame, intimidate, and cry. Some of us go on locked in this painful power struggle for years until we either break up or seek help. When we remain unaware of the hidden agenda of romantic love, we keep on making the same mistakes. We need to understand that conflict is actually growth trying to happen. By resolving our problems through Imago Dialogue, the emotional bond initially created by romantic love can evolve into the powerful bond that is real love. Imago Therapy creates a sacred space for healing and growth that can lead you to the relationship of your dreams. Our Imago certified therapists will provide all the tools necessary for transforming relationships and show you a new way to love.

WHY CLINICAL HYPNOSIS IS HELPFUL IN IMAGO RELATIONSHIP THERAPY:

There are a number of advantages that hypnosis adds to Imago Relationship Therapy. The relaxation and internal focus that occurs in clinical hypnosis can provide the pause that can keep conflicts from escalating. Specifically hypnosis can provide the self-soothing that is necessary to interrupt escalation and over-reactivity. It is an ideal intervention to help patients move from reactive to reflective behavior, assisting them to access more metered and appropriate responses. Our therapists, trained in clinical hypnosis as well as Imago Relationship Therapy, will provide all the tools necessary for transforming relationships.
