Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Q If I come to the workshop do I have to share our problems with the group?
A Some couples find wonderful relief in sharing parts of their journey with others in the workshop. Others do not speak of their relationship at all. No one is ever required to share personal information with the group or the leaders.
Q What does the workshop offer that regular counseling does not?
A The workshop is an educational weekend that provides concentrated time for the couple to connect with each other and to learn new tools and concepts for their relationship. We notice a deepening of tenderness and compassion as the couples relax into the weekend. Participants tell us our home provides a warm, relaxed, nurturing, and welcoming workshop setting that provides a safe experience away from the normal interruptions of life.
Q What is the success rate with IMAGO?
A Of the hundreds of people who have participated in our weekend, virtually 100% have reported an improvement in both satisfaction and hope for their relationships. Often, there is a dramatic change for the positive during the 2-1/2 days.
Q How will we maintain our "new" relationship after the workshop?
A Many ways are available. We offer a free follow up class as a part of the workshop fee. Others in the Imago community offer couples groups. If you are not currently working with a counselor/coach, we are, of course, available to schedule appointments with you or help you find someone to work with you. We are committed to helping our couples succeed.
Q I love IMAGO but what if my partner does not share my belief in this method?
A It is our experience that people can make great progress in their relationship even when there is reluctance. Willingness to attend is the first essential ingredient.
Q We'd like to do the weekend but it seems too expensive for us.
A It is often said that the workshop experience is the equivalent of six months therapy, as it provides the educational components of the work. Through our observations and participants' feedback, we are confident the weekend is a wise investment of your time and money.
