Getting The Love You Want
The Imago Couples Workshop
 "I believe that all of us have the capacity to create healthy, vibrant, nurturing love relationships. Indeed, the capacity to love and be loved is part of our natural birthright. To live within the shelter of a loving relationshis is one of life's greatest blessings. The Getting The Love You Want workshop is the most powerful process I know for creating strong healthy relationships. My goal in each workshop is to give you the tools and understanding you need to truly build the relationship of your dreams." — Laura Marshall, LCSW, QCSW
The Imago Couples Workshop is for you if:
- You are in a good relationship and want to deepen your connection
- You and your partner seem to be drifting apart
- You are caught in a painful struggle of wills
- You seem to keep having the same arguments over and over
- Things feel so bad that you are considering ending the relationship
About the "Getting the Love You Want" Workshop
The "Getting the Love You Want" workshop consists of five processes:
- Re-imaging your partner
- Restoring empathy
- Restructuring frustrations
- Renewing Romance
- Re-visioning the future
The weekend is composed of a carefully constructed blend of educational lectures and films, group discussions, self-exploration and writing work. You will learn new skills - ways to communicate that will allow you to truly see and hear each other with compassion, to melt anger and move through conflict to a place of profound connection and compassion. A significant portion of the workshop is spent practicing these new tools with your partner. While you are invited to share your insights and experiences within the larger group, all such sharing is optional.
What you can expect is:
- A safe and supportive environment
- Respect for your privacy
- To learn to communicate your feelings, needs and longings without causing pain
- A deeper understanding of your relationship dynamic and how it relates to your personal journey
- New insights into how conflict and "will struggle" can emerge in a relationship formed in love
- To rediscover the depth of your passion and joy (or perhaps to experience it for the first time)
All couples are welcome regardless of marital status or sexual orientation.
