How is Imago Therapy with Janet Hostetler different than traditional relationship therapy? Unlike traditional "tattle tale" therapy, where complaints about the other are told to the therapist, usually to get the therapist's agreement on who is right; I get both parties talking to each other using a process of communication that creates safety, allowing for both partners needs to be heard and validated.

What people say about the results of this process: " I know of no better guide for couples who genuinely desire a maturing relationship" M. Scott Peck: The Road Less Traveled "Helps ascend to higher and deeper levels of love when romance is fading." John Welshons: Awakening from Grief. |

What determines the chemistry between two people? |
| *Why do we become attracted to the very people who will cause us so much pain? |
| * Why do you have the same arguments again and again and what to do about them? |
| * How to stop repeating old patterns |
| * Tools to transform blame and criticism into understanding, intimacy, and romance |
| * The 2 most common subjects that couples fight about and the hidden meaning behind them. |
* What successful couples do that is different.

The biggest problem in relationships is that of misunderstood, manipulated, or avoided communications. The core skill in IMAGO Therapy is designed to correct this. Instead of criticizing and shaming the other for not meeting your needs and desires, you will learn how to listen, validate, and understand how your partner feels; and your partner will listen, validate, and understand how you feel as well. Clear communication is the window into the world of your partner. Being heard is a powerful aphrodisiac. Committed love relationships are the most prized and powerful of all human experiences and have the potential for the deepest personal healing and social change. In IMAGO Relationship Therapy, you will learn that everyone carries in their minds, outside awareness, an image of the type of person to whom they will be attracted for a committed love relationship. This is your IMAGO. Your IMAGO guides you to persons who are similar to the caretakers with whom you had the most difficulty in childhood and who appear to have the qualities you lack-- so that you can become healed and become whole. Then you fall in love. All intimate relationships go through (3) stages: 1) Romantic Love 2) The Power Struggle 3) Resolution This therapy will teach you to get out of the power struggle. Connection can be restored when you and your IMAGO choice become "partners" in the healing of your relationship and each other. You will create the relationship of your dreams! That's your third option and this therapy will teach you proven methods
