Imago Relationship Therapy on Long Island
There’s frequently a connection between our frustrations in adult relationships and our early childhood experiences…
For example, childhood feelings of abandonment, suppression, and neglect will often arise in adult relationships. When such “core issues” repeatedly come up with a partner, they can overshadow all that’s good in a relationship and leave one to wonder whether s/he has chosen the right mate.
Through Imago Relationship Therapy, couples (and also individuals) learn to understand each other’s feelings and “childhood wounds” more empathically, allowing themselves and their relationship to move toward a more conscious, fun, supportive and overall happy relationship that lasts.
ALTOGETHER, IMAGO THERAPY TEACHES COUPLES HOW TO:
- Examine our childhood upbringing & how this has formed our ‘Imago’ of what love is.
- Resolve conflict by understanding our needs / desires.
- Create a successful plan for the future as a couple.
Chana Pfeifer collaborates with The Huntington Relationship Therapy Center & The Holistic Counseling Center of Long Island offering mental health services to all residents of Long Island.
