Beneath recurring conflicts, couples often share a deep desire to feel heard, understood, and connected. IMAGO therapy looks beyond surface disagreements to explore the needs and expectations driving those struggles, helping partners find opportunities to restore connection and intimacy. In this training, certified IMAGO therapist and presenter Katey Villalon explores IMAGO intentional dialogue and relationship care.  IMAGO offers a structured communication process that helps partners listen more fully, express themselves more clearly, and feel genuinely heard. This approach invites couples to look beneath familiar conflicts rather than focusing solely on problems that have developed over time. Discover how new communication styles and tools can help couples move beyond power struggles toward greater empathy, acceptance, and love, creating space for meaningful change in their relationships.
