Description
Description: This lecture features Imago Relationship Therapy, emphasizing a shift from individualism to a relational model grounded in connection. The Imago Dialog process uses structured conversations to promote safety, empathy, and zero negativity. Key elements include daily affirmations, relational competency, and the “space between” partners. The session also addresses trauma and the importance of making these tools accessible across cultures.
Syllabus Description: Reimagining couple hood as a partnership, rather than a competition, requires reimaging the "space between," rather than "the space within," as the target of therapy. This relocation of the locus of change requires reimaging therapy as a process that facilitates connecting more than self-understanding. This lecture will propose "being" rather than "knowing" as the foundation of the therapeutic process and connection and wonder rather than insight and self-knowledge as the outcome.
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss the distinction between “being” and “knowing”.
- Compare the “space between” to the “space within”.
- Cite the basic historic shifts in the structure and function of couple hood.
