The Nonnegotiable Conditions For Restoring & Sustaining Connecting

So what are the nonnegotiable conditions for restoring and sustaining connecting?  First, “The basic tenet of Imago is: Being present and connecting through relationship is ultimately what transforms both partners, not attempting to change themselves or their partner as separate individuals.”  (p.10) This statement sums up the shift in therapy from the Newtonian worldview to […]

Metatheory as Perspective
