Description
Imago Therapy is an amazing new communication tool that, I believe, will be the therapy we use for years to come. When you think about it, we are evolved, and the most recent 'evolution' that we have had is the ability to experience emotion. It is what sets us apart from so many other species and beings. I believe that part of the brain is getting more and more advanced every day, and what Imago does is actually give us a vehicle to work through emotions in a safe and nurturing way. Depression is the leading cause of suicide, and an estimate of 1 in 4 people will be affected by depression in their life through their own experience or with friends and family. And these numbers are just 'reported'. My belief is that the reason for this depression is that we have repressed all of these feelings from childhood and found unproductive ways to escape them (addictions and escapes) because we just do not know what to do with these feelings and many times do not even know they are there. Imago gives us that tool. It allows us to experience emotions in a healthy, safe environment. Imago has given me the opportunity to open up to my husband about issues that crop up in our relationship, issues that evoke similar emotions to those I experienced in childhood. I have also learned about things that have shaped him and it is a tool that has allowed him to open up to me as well. It has enriched our relationship immensely...
