Imago teaches that relationship power-struggles are an opportunity for healing and growth and can establish a deeper connection for couples. When you learn how to move through conflict with compassion and empathy, disagreements in your relationship evolve into something deeper and more fulfilling.

Based on the theory and exercises described in the NY Times Bestselling book by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt Ph.D, the Getting The Love You Want® Couples Workshop teaches you and your partner how to transform your relationship into a fulfilling partnership. It's a transformative journey that guides couples with practical tools and strategies to create satisfying and long-lasting relationships.

You will be guided through exercises that explore the history of your relationships and how it influenced you to choose one another, and also look at the reasons you may struggle.

An unhappy or painful marriage can be the scariest and loneliest place in the world. Lori takes away the fear and the Imago process helps you know you are anything but alone and infuses you with the power to make the changes you need to make to return to joy."

The workshop is a journey. At the end you will leave with some insights into how you can create a deeply satisfying and long-lasting relationship with your partner, as well as skills to help you to achieve that.

If you’ve heard of Imago, you’ve probably heard of the Imago Dialogue—a powerful communication tool to help transform conflict into healing and connection. A few couples will have the opportunity to volunteer to practice the Imago Dialogue with coaching in front of the group. However, the workshop is set up so that other than the demonstrations, you and your partner do your work privately with each other. If you wish, you don’t have to reveal personal information to the group.

By the end of the workshop, most couples leave feeling far more positive about their relationship. The workshop closes with finding ways to make sure your life is full of caring and romance. You have the opportunity for a follow-up session two weeks after the workshop to check in and get further support.
