One of the tools I recommend to my clients is “The Couple’s Workstation”. The Couple’s Workstation is an effective support tool designed for couples who are doing the relationship in the Imago Therapy approach. If you are comfortable with computers and the Internet, this may be an invaluable form of support for you and your partner.
What does the Couple’s Workstation do?
The Imago Therapy approach to couple’s therapy is to help couples understand the reasons for the conflicts that emerge and teach them how to utilize the healing qualities of committed love relationships. This involves learning how to analyze frustrations and create an action plan for healing old hurts and present conflicts. It also involves “building on the positive,” focusing on creating passion, safety, romance, fun and enjoyment.
To accomplish this I use a variety of forms and processes. Similar forms are on the Couple’s Workstation site. Once you enter the information on-line, you will receive weekly email reminders about what is important to your partner and your partner will receive the same about you. The Workstation will help you record and keep track of important things you learn in the coaching process.
How will the Couples Workstation help me?
What you will find as you work on your relationship is that what one partner needs the most, the other cannot easily give without either facing an old fear or developing a new skill or ability. This is the “hard work” part of love. Because of this, people tend to “forget” or “just not think of” these needed “growth challenges”. The Workstation’s reminder system will give you a gentle, private reminder each week about the behaviors that are particularly important to your unique relationship.
Intimate committed relationships usually have an unconscious pattern of relating that inadvertently trigger old wounds and activate old and automatic coping strategies. This inevitably leads to conflict and discouragement. We will show you how to analyze frustrations, discover these unconscious patterns and create an action plan that is doable and effective. When you get five of your frustrations analyzed on-line you will have a solid action plan in place. I will show you how to use these forms effectively.
