Imago Therapy: A New Way to Love

Through discussion, therapists teach couples how to get through issues in a way that creates more peace and connection

To many in the public eye, Al and Tipper Gore had a love that would last a lifetime. But, sadly, the romance of the high school sweethearts came to a surprising end Tuesday with the announcement of their separation after 40 years of marriage.

Research shows that the number of divorced people in the United States is rising. In fact, three of the top 10 counties the divorced call home are in Florida. Experts say relationships take a lot of work, but there is a way for couples to make it through the rough times. 

"Conflict is growth trying to happen," said Bobbi Newman, an Imago Relationship therapist. "The problem is we don't know that."

Imago therapists help people discover the relationship of their dreams through a process of healing dialogue and re-connection.

"Imago therapy takes you from an unconscious reactional relationship to a conscious intentional relationship," said Newman. "It's based on the premise that we choose somebody who in some way reminds us of some feelings we had as kids that may or may not have been good feelings." 

Through discussion, therapists teach couples how to get through those issues in a way that creates more peace and connection.
