Imago Relationship Therapy

Harville Hendrix Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt Ph.D developed Imago Relationship Therapy in 1980 when they found their marriage of ten years “teetering on the brink of divorce”. Ironic, given their training and work as marriage therapists! Imago Relationship Theory views conflict as an opportunity for healing and growth. It helps couples identify and explore the impact of their childhood wounds (yes, we all have them, even those of us who grew up in “perfect” families) on their current relationships. Imago Relationship Therapist help couples use dialogical communication and exercises to address and change behaviors working for and against their connection, heal from their childhood wounds and move from blaming, shaming and reactivity to understanding, empathy and deeper connection.
