Getting The Love You Want
Couples Workshop

A practical, hands-on weekend packed with information and skills to repair and deepen your connection. The Imago Couples Workshop will expand your understanding of intimate love relationship and give you and your partner practice with relationship skills that take the guesswork out of creating and sustaining a more fulfilling love for you both.

Getting The Love You Want is a workshop for couples based on Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago makes love make sense. The pain and conflict that inevitably arise in marriage is not out of lack of love for our partners, but, rather, is the result of reactive tendencies and underlying needs unmet and often unrecognized. The Imago process helps couples find the healing and growth opportunity "hidden" in their despair. Paradoxically, impasse or conflict in committed love relationship provides the blueprint we need for the fulfillment we seek. Couples invariably experience "light bulb" moments in this workshop, valuable insights, with a new-found compassion into their partner, themselves and their relationship. And the best part - our workshop gives couples practice with relationship skills to put their insights and compassion into action - practical couple skills you will take with you that support and guide partners in creating safety, experiencing connection, healing pain, transforming conflict into growth and co-creating your relationship to be a more conscious and mutual love that lasts, one of passionate friends.


Often compared to 3 to 6 months of weekly private couple therapy

This workshop is open to all couples. The weekend is designed to create a safe and comfortable environment for all particpants. Couples learn Imago's core relationship skill for connection; this powerful dialogue skill is practiced and built upon throughout the weekend. The workshop format includes lecture, demonstration, personal reflection and written exercises, and break-out partner practice sessions. Couples are invited to share with the group to build a supportive atmosphere, however, no one is pressured into unwelcomed self-disclosure. The workshop emphasis is on partners sharing with each other. The workshop is small, limited to four couples. This smaller group size allows for greater group cohesion and gives Laura Jean the opportunity to provide private assistance to each couple in the break-out practice sessions.
