Can you break down what the Imago Dialogue is and then how do you use it to avoid a fight so you can have a difficult conversation but really still stay connected with each other emotionally?

And it's beautiful because like you were speaking of just now, Helen, it's like we go in, if we're in a fight, usually we're going into our reptilian brain. We're not functioning from our higher cortex and prefrontal cortex. We're not rationally thinking clearly. And so having the dialogue creates that safety so we feel seen and heard.

and we calm down, we both feel, we've got this template so we don't have to think about, what do I say? It's literally plug and play with any conflict or any misunderstanding to really regulate your nervous system. And one of the things I remembered is that my kids' school took your guys' imago dialogue and they called it the peace path.

And so you have, and most of us didn't learn this in childhood, but my kids' school have, where you take one step up the ladder and you say, the thing I did to contribute problems in this dynamic was, and you take personal responsibility, And you keep taking one step up. So you learn conflict resolution and personal responsibility.

And you really join making that ladder, that physicalizing it, which is so helpful and beautiful. And I know that nowadays, you know, you guys have worked with hundreds of couples, a lot on the brink of separation. And in 2024, just last year, the divorce rate for first time marriages is 40 to 50%.

And so I'm just wondering if there's something that couples, either a myth you want to debunk that's in the mainstream now, or if there's a misunderstanding or something that they're doing that's quietly killing the relationship, what would you say that is?

Well, I love it. I love that you guys have used your relationship as a laboratory, that you have really listened to your clients to hear what is the framework that's going to create that safety so people can find and use conflict to grow closer together, that it's not bad, but it really can be a way to understand ourselves and help each other heal at the root.
