When Couples Reach a Crossroads: An Imago Therapy Approach to Crisis, Change, and Repair
There’s a moment in many relationships when something major shifts…
Maybe it’s loud - Like, a betrayal, a breach of trust, a fight that goes too far.
Or, maybe it’s quiet - A repetitive argument loop, or the slow realization that you feel more like coworkers managing logistics than partners feeling deeply connected.

Is this normal?
Is it worth sticking it out?
Is this ‘it’ for us?

Why You Keep Choosing the Same Relationship (and How Imago Therapy Helps Explain It)
It’s not them, and it’s also not you…
