Are you ready to take your Imago practice to the next level?

Join us for a powerful day of consultation and consolidation, designed especially for Imago therapists who are interested in deepening their clinical skills with trauma-informed approaches.

Why Attend?

• Tailored Support for Trauma Survivors: Explore practical tweaks and enhancements to Imago processes and dialogues that specifically support couples where one or both partners are trauma survivors. Discover approaches that foster healing and connection.
• Engage the Right Brain: Experience firsthand the power of creative, right-brain activities and exercises designed to help couples break through barriers and access new levels of emotional attunement.
• Case Consultation: Bring your own cases! Participants will have opportunities to share and discuss real-life scenarios in a supportive, collaborative environment. Benefit from group wisdom, feedback, and new perspectives.

Content:

• A dialogue about what comes up for us when working with couples in which one or both may be severely wounded.
• Adaptations of the Imago dialogues which are helpful when trauma is apparent.
• An experiential activity with the group that conveys a powerful right brain experience that is mirrored through images.
• Opportunity for participants to present some case questions that could be discussed by the group or role played by Maureen. This would help to illustrate the principles of trauma informed work with couples.

A Seminar for Therapists

Many couples who come for therapy experience challenges in their sexual relationship, whether or not this is the presenting issue. The erotic charge of the early days has diminished, disappeared or become a source of frustration and conflict that impacts other areas. Many couples don’t know how to talk about sex in ways that enhance their intimate connection. Many therapists struggle to help navigate their couples through this challenging area of their relaTionship for a variety of reasons of their own.

This workshop will offer therapists:

• an opportunity to increase their own comfort talking about sex and help their couples talk about sex in ways that build their erotic connection,
• a model that applies Imago theory of developmental stages and the missing self to the area so sexuality.
• an overview of the phases of the sexual arousal cycle identified by icons in the field
• useable dialogue tools and ideas to help couples develop empathic understanding and enhance their erotic connection through the phases of the sexual response cycle.

Outline:

• Introductions and settling
• Application of the Imago Developmental threads to the sexual relationship – needs, adaptations, challenges in the sexual relationship, potential for growth and healing
• The Sexual Appreciation Dialogue
• Enhancing each phase of the sexual response cycles
• The Sexual Self-Appreciation Dialogue
• Application of Imago theory of the Missing Self to the sexual relationship – lost, denied and disowned sexual selves, resulting conflicts, and the growth potential from re-integration.
• The Lost Sexual Self Dialogue
• Group Discussion

About the Presenters: Sophie Slade is an Imago Relationship Therapist, workshop presenter, senior clinical instructor and clinical psychologist. David Howarth is a regular bloke and retired electrician. He has been assisting Sophie in presenting workshops for over 20 years. Sophie and David have been lovers and life partners for many years and have had to overcome lots of the challenges that so many long-term couples face in their sexual relationships.

The Attuned Therapist is one of the core Advanced courses set by the IITI (Imago International Training Institute). We are fortunate to be able to offer this workshop to our members to not only provide you with the opportunity to progress to an Advanced Therapist (Level 3) but also to help you identify your own reactivity when confronted with reactive couples. The course “explores when and how that shows up in the counseling session sabotaging the entire counseling process. Course participants learn skills to determine their countertransference and stay consciously present with themselves and consciously attuned to their clients in session.” (IITI) The requirements for attending this course are that you have completed the Imago Clinical Training (Module 1). For more information about the course, please refer to the IITI website- The Attuned Therapist.
