Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples

Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy is built on a provocative idea backed by 30 years of practice: you're unconsciously attracted to partners who resemble the caretakers who wounded you in childhood, because your psyche seeks to heal old injuries through new relationships. The structured Imago Dialogue technique—mirroring, validation, and empathy—has been taught to over 1 million couples and is a staple in training programs. Unlike Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life’s scientific focus on desire, this book targets the subconscious patterns driving conflict. Hendrix and his wife Helen LaKelly Hunt prove its power: they divorced, did the work, and remarried each other.
