By Dr. Janet Greenwood, PhD, RN · Certified Imago Relationship Therapist · Gottman Method Trained
The Two-Day Experience
The Imago Couples Intensive is 12 hours of focused, private work over two consecutive days (six hours each day). Here is what the experience looks like:
-
1. Free Consultation (Before the Intensive)
A 15-minute conversation with Janet to discuss your situation and determine if the intensive is the right fit. No pressure, no commitment. This is about making sure you're making the right investment.
-
2. Preparation
Complete intake forms and the Relationship Blueprint Assessment. Janet may recommend reading Rescue Your Marriage in 5 Hours to prepare. These pre-work exercises help you arrive ready to go deeper, faster.
-
3. Day One: Safety and Understanding
The first day focuses on creating safety, understanding your relationship patterns, and learning the Imago Dialogue – a structured communication process built on mirroring, validation, and empathy. You begin to see your partner's experience with new clarity.
-
4. Day Two: Repair and Reconnection
The second day goes deeper – accessing the emotions beneath the conflict, repairing the impact of past hurts, and building a shared vision for the relationship you want. By end of day two, most couples report feeling more connected than they have in years.
-
5. After the Intensive
Individualized follow-up plans based on your needs. The skills you learned during the intensive are yours to keep – like training wheels that eventually become second nature.
