Integrating Imago

You may be wondering…What is Imago Therapy?

Imago means an idealized picture of other or self. Imago Therapy, in large part, is the attempt to better understanding both our own and our partner’s underlying wounds, triggers, and wishes and how these then create a dynamic between us. It is my belief that bringing these to consciousness then allows us the agency to shift dynamics and more deeply understand ourselves and our partner.

I have found that the theory and writings of Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt a powerful resource. Here are some recommended reading a links to explore.
