Imago Couples Therapy

Getting The Love You Want Workshops

For couples who’ve been married for a long time, for people that are not married but living together, for people that are dating, and for people that are planning on getting married.

What the workshop involves are multiple exercises between each couple. This is not group therapy. Nothing is publicly shared.

Conflict is growth waiting to happen. Stand in it and allow ourselves to work from it, to grow from it with our partner. 2 opinions can be right and exist in the same space.

Imago Relationship Therapy: See through your partner’s eyes.

Understand the art of communication.

Learn better communication skills with one another.

Learn how to listen better.

Learn how to empathize and validate your partner.

Thich Nhat Hahn - blaming has no positive effect at all

Relationship Tip #17: Blaming has no positive effect at all.

“Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reasoning and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.”

Long Island couples therapist

Relationship Tip #17:  This quote from Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that blaming another person does not work; what works is understanding the other.

I find it helps to remember ~ whatever your partner says or does makes sense to him or her, even if it makes no sense to you.

Appreciations

marriage therapist LINYGive your partner one appreciation every day.

So often people tell me that they don’t feel appreciated by their spouse. Tell your partner how much you appreciate something nice or thoughtful that they did for you today.

Appreciations can help us to feel emotionally safe with each other.

Remember that an appreciation a day can help to keep the therapist away!

Tip of the month

marriage therapist LINY

If you have something important that you want to discuss with your spouse or partner, asking, “Is now a good time to talk?” can make a big difference. It gives the other person a “heads up” that you want their undivided attention, that this is important to you, that you really want them to listen to you. It also shows that you are respectful of their time and are not assuming that they are available on your time schedule. If your partner or spouse says no, it’s not a good time, accept that and ask for an appointment within 24 hours when he/she will talk to you.

Fix My Partner

couples therapy LINY - fix my partnerSo many couples come into couples therapy with the attitude of “just fix my partner.”

They don’t look at how they participate in the dance of intimacy. Many will ask “what can I do to make this work?”

What sometimes troubles me are the few who are unwilling to do their homework when I assign it. The only way to make a relationship work, is to work at being conscious and doing what it takes to get there. We spend most of our relationship in unconsciousness state. One partner is talking while the other is occupied with something and they are not paying attention. A typical scenario is when the partner states “you never listen to me” the other will then state “I was busy doing something, what do you expect?” Disconnect.

INVEST IN YOUR LOVE

A relationship goes through numerous phases during its life cycle, and it’s obvious for it to have a few rough patches. The strength of a relationship is reflected in how couples deal with the rough patches and move ahead.

INVEST IN YOUR LOVE

What many couples don’t realize is that divorce is very expensive. If money is spent on good couples therapy, it actually is more cost effective.

That’s what I love about Imago Relationship Therapy – it gets right to the heart of the matter.

I think the thing that saddens me the most is when a couple tells me over the phone, after they’ve made the inquiry, that they don’t feel like working on their marriage once we discuss the length of time and typical investment. What I want to say to them is “good luck in divorce court and losing your money”. It’s much more satisfying to invest in your love and repair what is truly special to you.

What I wish I could help couples understand is that the divorce process can be so much longer, bitter and more costly… not to mention upsetting.
