Parent-Child Dialogue in Imago Relationship Therapy – Couples Counseling Session with Chana Pfeifer, LCSW
“I am your parent. What is it like living with me? What is your deepest hurt with me?”
Imago relationship therapy is a form of couples counseling that helps those in relationships work out misunderstandings, reduce conflict, and rediscover ways to bond, communicate, and find common ground. Much of the work in Imago therapy involves learning to recognize how early childhood relationship experiences affect how we communicate, behave, and respond to others in adult relationships.
Imago relationship therapy teaches the skill of dialogue (i.e. parent-child dialogue) to help couples regulate anxiety and fully hear each other in an authentic, intentional dialogue. As couples are able to listen to each other with curiosity and a sense of safety, they are able to develop an empathic connection that allows them to understand the needs of their partner, as well as their own. The partners are then able to act on requested behavior changes, create a vision for their relationship, and act in more caring ways toward each other.
