Marriage Counseling Long Island
When it comes to seeking relationship counseling for communication issues, many couples are hesitant at first.
Some people don’t like admitting there’s a problem or that they’re somehow “failing” as a couple. But the truth is, communication problems lie at the heart of many couples’ issues.
Professional counselors are experts at helping you move ahead when you feel stuck. Therapy can help you and your partner develop better problem solving and communication skills. By going to counseling, you gain a deeper understanding of who your partner is and what motivates him/her.
The pain & conflict of committed relationships arise not out of a lack of love for our partner, but from a misunderstanding of what love relationships are about.
Counseling can help you and your partner resolve issues in a safe and neutral environment. This can bring you closer together while developing effective strategies to conquer those issues in the long-term.
Giving the Long Island community resources to reach their fullest potential.
Our Imago relationship therapists are here to guide couples into a better way of communicating.
The theory behind imago is that because emotional and psychological experiences with our parents or caretakers were so impactful, we unconsciously seek out people in our adult life who are similar to the same interactions that you experienced as a child. We associate both the negative and the positive interactions we had with our caretakers as things we need in adult relationships. Then, we fulfill the qualities that we either got or didn’t receive during our childhood.
Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about therapy or making an appointment at the Holistic Counseling Center of Long Island.
Imago Relationship Therapy in Suffolk County, NY
Imago Relationship Therapy was co-developed by married couple Dr. Harville Hendrix & Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt in 1980 and was popularized in Dr. Hendrix’s New York Times best seller Getting The Love You Want. The technique uses Imago Dialogue to help couples understand, validate and empathize with one another’s unique reality, rather than resorting to anger and reactivity.
Through Imago Relationship Therapy, couples learn to understand each other’s feelings and childhood wounds more empathically, allowing each person to heal themselves and their relationship so that they can live a more conscious, happy life. Learn more about Harville & Helen, relationship experts & creators of Imago relationship therapy & theory < more >
Learning and teaching the Imago dialogue allows couples, families and also individuals to move from blame and reactivity, to understanding and empathy, so that they can create a deeper and loving connection with each other.
Some of the basic tenets of Imago relationship therapy include:
- Re-imagining your partner’s actions in light of their childhood experiences.
- Re-creating romance with actions that show appreciation and love.
- Re-structuring feelings of frustration by using a more empathetic approach.
- Re-envisioning the relationship in a positive light.
