What is Imago Relationship Therapy? Imago therapist is a specific therapeutic approach designed for couples therapy that teaches couples to successfully move through the many stages of their relationship. It helps couples shift the focus from self to the relationship. During sessions, couples learn a new way of listening and talking. The IMAGO Dialogue. The dialogue process supports the couple in establishing safety and trust so that important, underlying issues and concerns can be addressed and heard. Imago therapy avoids the idea of blame, shame, criticize, or who is right and wrong. Your relationship did not become disconnected overnight and it is important to understand it will not be repaired overnight. The approach teaches you a specific way to communicate and connect.
