We are very lucky to have the next “Getting the Love You Want Workshop” Online.
This workshop is at the heart of Imago Therapy where connection and communication are key. Learn safe ways to heal and hear.
Our beautiful therapists bringing you this program are Will and Julie. Imago Therapists practice what we preach, it’s personal as well as professional.
Workshop presenter Will shares :
We all want to be connected and happy, and most of us are doing the best we can with what we know.
However, it seems we lack the map, the knowledge, and the skills to navigate the trickier waters of partnership.
We struggle with fear, with defensive strategies that have kept us ‘safe’ (better to be safe than sorry).
There’s a cost to this safety – we lose ourselves and our intimate partnership.
With better ways to love fully, we are no longer doomed to recreate the same hurtful patterns, and can end the suffering.
You will remember the GTLYW retreat as one of the best weekends you have ever had together and time well spent.
You will take away great skills, a new way of loving, and a whole new positive perspective on your relationship.
It is good to know we are not alone in this challenging endeavor called love.

Some good has come as we adhere to the necessary restrictions. However, this can cause pressure in our partnerships. Tensions flare, arguments escalate.
I don’t know about you, but it can take me a while to address things in my relationship, often complaining and then taking action.
One of the key skills we use is the Imago Dialogue. Easily learnt, it offers you and your mate a deeper connection in emotional safety.
It’s in the doing that counts.
Here’s something you can do for your relationship today – The Getting the Love you Want workshop is now online August 13-15.
A weekend of healing from the comfort of your own home.

Hello Marriage workers and Relationship heroes. As we move into a new era, it’s time to freshen things up. So glad there is an easing of COVID 19 restrictions.
I am super excited to announce friends of mine Julie and Will are offering the amazing Getting the Love You Want Couples weekend workshop.
This is such a special seminar – designed for all couples who want to reset old patterns, and have a fresh start.
Interestingly, Imago couple therapy practitioners who want full certification also need to attend in their partnerships. It’s certainly helped me being on both sides of the metaphorical couch.
I am glad Chris and I had the opportunity. It totally brought new compassion, insight, and connection to our relationship. I
Even in this lock down, correct me if I am wrong but I think our most valuable asset is time.
This is exactly why investing in a weekend for your partnership is so productive to healing and hope.

I have just spent the last 3 days with my husband Chris attending a Character growth Imago workshop. This was with Advanced Imago Therapist Brenda Rawlings of The Imago Institute of New Zealand See here https://www.relationships.co.nz/about-us/
Now we are in luck Sydney folk!
The Couples Retreat – a 2 day weekend is here! Brenda and husband Peter are offering the Getting the Love You Want Couples workshop. Up the road in lovely Crows Nest.
We can definitely recommend this workshop. Indeed it saved us from the brink. Please do yourself a favour and get the love you want. Your partnership is worth putting in a 2 days effort !
I want to share something personal – this is a huge thing for me to put on the website being a very private person. Yet I am a great believer in being real and honest. Chris and I went through some tough times earlier this year. We had come to a place of separation.
It was over as we were wanting different things from the relationship.
Marriage
I am traditional and believe in the institution of Marriage – hence the name Marriage Works – right! Of course you can be totally committed partners without it. I am no Marriagist. Chris having been divorced was not bothered by matrimony.
I am glad to say we did work things through and are happily back together in a more powerful and deeper connection than ever.
Plus we got married on November 3rd 2018, a happy day all round!
The Bride and Groom – Chris and Philipa got hitched!
What helped was us going and seeing a couple therapist and working through our sticking points. Being a client and learning about myself has always improved my therapy game. I could not believe how anxious I was going to every appointment. I definitely have a bucket load more compassion having had the counseling experience. Our good therapist really turned things around. Thank you!
Brenda and Peter hold these workshops in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland New Zealand. In the weekend we learnt so much about each other and it offered us a way forward in hope with our love.
I am passionate about couples learning to connect and heal this can happen in the therapy room. The bonus is you get to take the learning and techniques into your life.
Look up and see the light and move away from misery and pain
Using it as a therapy tool I have seen partner’s change in 90 minutes as they see and get their spouses angst in a hearfelt way. It’s different to the old ways of communicating which lead to hopelessness and desperation.
I recommend it to all my couples and friends! It is coming very soon 8/9 December so give your self the best gift every – a healthier, happier relationship for the two of you.
