As an Imago Relationship Therapist on Long Island, David Weber’s primary goal is to help couples stop blaming, criticizing, and negatively reacting to each other and instead become more understanding and empathetic.
Imago relationship therapy is a form of counseling and coaching designed to help people work out misunderstandings, reduce conflict, and rediscover ways to communicate.
Much of the work that takes place in Imago therapy sessions involves learning to recognize how childhood relationship experiences have affected how we relate, behave, and respond within committed relationships.
Couples typically sit facing each other and participate in exercises and conversation guided by a trained Imago therapist. The therapist plays an active role in facilitating the dialog between partners in a way that helps each understand how the other reacts & responds to conflict / stress, ideally enhancing empathy and reducing a recurrence of the same arguments or types of arguments.
Dating partners, newlyweds, and long-term spouses can all benefit from Imago therapy.
Couples dealing with communication struggles, consistent conflict, intimacy challenges, and trust issues may want to work with an Imago therapist. Couples that are not in crisis also benefit from Imago relationship therapy, learning how to manage conflict and enhance their dynamic before anything damaging can occur.
Individuals looking to find ways to make better choices in their dating life and gain perspective to help them recognize the traits they desire in future partners may find benefits in Imago therapy as well!
