TRANSFORM YOUR IMAGO WORK
Deepen Your Clinical Skills
In the face of a couple’s crisis, there are three different perspectives for the therapist to consider: The first perspective works for, and from, the ‘between’ of the relationship – the focus is on the interpersonal; the second, use relational neuroscience as a map for inner attunement; and the third, helps the therapist with his/her countertransference and use of “self.” The end point of all three perspectives is to provide the therapist with skills to assist couples in moving from Despair and Rupture to Repair and Connection. Using the principles of interpersonal and interpersonal attunement will give a map to working with couples in crisis. Having a clear navigational system that includes exploring countertransference reactions will ultimately enable us to effectively help couples heal and grow through crisis.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Michelle Bohls.
I have been a self-professed Impostor, struggling with extreme self-doubt. After professional experiences I would often feel pretty solid at first, but over time my mind would slowly question my competency. "Was it good? Really? You probably could have done more. It wasn't really faithful to the Imago Dialogue." You get the idea. These doubts would eventually convince me that I was an Impostor.
And when there was a betrayal in the couple, I would feel deskilled and completely lost - so HELPLESS! Until I figured out what was really going on for them and for myself. This is the idea with the Despair to Repair course.
