Parent-Child Dialogue – Felt Experience – Imago Therapy

Parent-Child Dialogue – Felt Experience – Imago Therapy Online

Here’s a clip with Chana in an Imago Therapy session online with a couple who was about to practice the “Parent-Child Dialogue,” a communication technique in Imago Relationship Therapy.

This is not about parent-shaming or parent-blaming, this is about our felt experience. As parents we know that we cannot be perfect. Some of our children may experience us giving them too much attention or not enough attention, and as parents, we do our best. So again, the focus of this dialogue is your felt experience.

Through Imago Relationship Therapy sessions with Chana, couples will learn new (and affective) ways to communicate so that both partners’ realities can be fully expressed and understood.

IMAGO RELATIONSHIP THERAPY TEACHES COUPLES HOW TO:

  • examine each childhood upbringing & how this formed their ‘Imago’
  • resolve conflict by understanding/empathizing each’s needs/desires
  • create a successful and gratifying plan for the future for you as a couple

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.
