- Bader delves into the complex landscape of honesty in intimate relationships. Drawing from research and clinical experience, she examines the nuanced ways couples deceive each other, from minor "loving lies" to devastating betrayals. Bader explores how differentiation—the ability to authentically express oneself while respecting a partner's separate identity—is crucial for building trust and intimacy. Through case studies and therapeutic techniques, she offers professionals practical strategies for helping couples navigate affairs, overcome deception, and develop the emotional courage to be truly known by one another.

- Ruptured connection in childhood is brought to adult intimate relationships for repair. Romantic love is the selection of a partner who resembles childhood caretakers and the inevitable power struggle is an indication of the failure of both partners to meet each other's needs. Imago Therapy helps couples complete the agenda of romantic love by identifying unmet childhood needs and enabling couples to help meet those needs in each other. This session will demonstrate a process that helps couples experience contact and connection called the Imago Dialogue Process.
