Based on the book Giving the Love That Heals by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, the Imago parenting program, “Connected Parents, Thriving Kids,” applies the Imago Dialogue process and Imago theory to the practical and challenging situations that occur with children. With the understanding that behavior is need driven, therapists, teachers, parents, and others who interact with children, including the ‘inner children’ within us all, learn to attune to the underlying messages. These help children feel seen and heard, and support the child’s natural inclination to cooperate and connect. The 3-day training program’s design is to prepare Imago Therapists, Educators, and Facilitators to coach groups in these concepts and skills.
