Description

Talking is the most dangerous thing partners do in their relationships, and truly listening is the most infrequent—particularly in high-conflict situations. The reason is simple: when we talk to one another, we tend to focus on what we’re saying rather than on how we’re saying it. Learning to talk without criticism and to listen without judgment—about anything—is essential for safety and connecting. In this workshop, you’ll observe and practice a skill that helps couples connect beyond their differences.  You’ll learn to: 

  • Help your clients talk safely about any topic or issue using the three-step Imago Dialogue process 
  • Teach clients to give each other feedback noncritically, in a way that keeps the channels of communication open and allows them to take in what they’ve heard 
  • Integrate Imago principles into your work with both couples and individuals
