Frequently Asked Questions:

"I'm a private person. What if I'm not comfortable discussing our problems in a group?"

Your concerns are not unusual.  Many couples do not feel comfortable talking about their relationship in front of others.  Your privacy will be respected.  This is an educational workshop.  Although many couples describe the weekend as a very therapeutic experience, it is NOT therapy.  You will not be pressured to share specific personal information you're not comfortable sharing.  The format is designed so you and your partner will privately practice the dialogue exercises together, not as a group exercise.     
 
                                                                
"What will we be asked to talk about for the dialogue exercises?  I'm concerned we may be asked to discuss subjects that don't pertain to us or the problems we're having."   

The format of the exercises we teach you (the Imago Dialogues) are very structured, but what you discuss within that framework is up to you.  In other words, you and your partner talk about what is important to the two of you.  


"I can't sit still and pay attention for long periods of time. It sounds like a very long weekend and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay focused."  

Many people can't sit still and listen to a lecture or discussion for too long, and even if they could, it would be boring.  That's why the workshop is broken up between different types of energy activities.  Some are low energy, some are higher energy.  There will be short lectures, videos, demonstrations, movement, and time to practice the dialogue exercises.  We also take plenty of breaks to snack and stretch.  It is amazing how quickly the time goes.
