Workshops > Getting The Love You Want for Gay and Lesbian Couples
"Getting the Love You Want" Workshop is presented three times
annually for Lesbian and Gay Couples. It provides a safe environment for couples to begin their
relational journey of healing and growth. It is my wish that one day there will be no need for a special
workshop like this to exist, one day lesbian and gay people and their
relationships will be seen as equal, valuable and honorable by all of
society. In the meantime this space is created for those lesbian and gay couples who wish to
have additional safety so that work can be accomplished.
About the Workshop
An Intensive 20-hour Experience For Couples based
on Imago Relationship Therapy developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.,
author of the best selling books Getting the Love You Want - A Guide
for Couples, Keeping the Love You Want - A Guide for Couples,
and Keeping the Love You Find - A Guide for Singles.
 It is guided by the belief that
relationships have a hidden purpose: that of healing childhood wounds.
Imago Relationship Therapy stresses the importance of understanding and
cooperation with this unconscious agenda and offers specific ways to
access the nurturing and care from your relationship that was missed in
childhood.
You will Learn...
To have greater compassion for your partner
To discover how the unconscious forces that attract you to your partner are also sources of conflict
To receive new tools for re-romanticizing your relationship
To assist each other in healing childhood wounds
To learn how to use your relationship for emotional healing and spiritual evolution
To rediscover the joy and spiritual potential of being together
The unique design of this workshop is appropriate for you if:
You want to enrich, deepen or revitalize a good relationship
You want to nurture a new relationship
You are in a difficult relationship and want to end a long-standing impasse

Workshop Information
This workshop will focus on your relationship with each other. Except
for a brief introduction, you will not share anything with the larger
group unless you so choose. Rather than passively absorbing
lecture materials, you will be asked to initiate the rediscovery of your
relationship, its hows and whys. Often you will write down details
about your needs in the relationship and then share that information in
a format that encourages understanding.
The workshop format includes:
Lectures about the purpose and dynamics of your intimate relationship
Guided Imagery, individual reflection and writing
Demonstration of communication skills
Practicing new behaviors and skills with your partner
