Here is a new Relationship Therapy my T has recommended... I wanted to share the information with every one here at PC (and) to let you know this doctor has been seen on Oprah as well - talking about the Couples Therapy & his book.

Check it Out....................... Good Luck.

Imago Relationship Therapy

What does “imago” mean?
It is a Latin term for “image.” Essentially, your imago is a composite picture of the people who influenced you most strongly at an early age.

To a large degree, whether or not you are romantically attracted to someone depended on the degree to which that person matched your imago, even though consciously you have not been aware of it.
When we can understand better how this “imago” impacts and influences us in our relationships, then we can unlock the mystery that has been frustrating us and our partners in matters of the heart / love.

Thanks Rhap. Sounds similar to the ideals list I made for myself when I was "searching". No energy to check out the links right now, but thank you for sharing.

i (we) did it and it helped for a while
until things got back to the way they were.
all therapies, counselling, self help etc., is worth exploring until you find something that resonates with you.
some do and some don't.

When I personally find some thing that resonates with in ME I take a deep breath and step forward to look deeper into the WHY of it....... I see a resonation as a chance to heal some more, and I do not run from it other wise I will never break the chains that bound me and my emotions - controls me from within.

Can someone that has done this T before and that knows a little bit about my life story please shed some "bright" light (thoughts) on the LoVe - Hate thing I have going on in my marriage, from my side of the fence..... for while I understand the why it is still hard to find the how - how to solve.


(read this section first - for this is ME)

Why does falling in love go wrong?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
