What
is the GTLYW Workshop?
This intensive 22-hour workshop
for couples is based on the work of Harville
Hendrix, Ph.D., author of the best-selling books, Getting the Love
You Want - A Guide for Couples, Keeping the Love you Find - A Guide for
Singles and his newest, Giving the Love that Heals- A Guide for Parents.
It is based on Imago Relationship
Therapy, developed by Dr. Hendrix, which includes the belief that relationships
form a catalyst for personal growth, healing childhood wounds and becoming
a loving and fully mature adult. This Workshop will help you understand
and cooperate with that process and will offer you specific ways for attaining
personal, relational, and spiritual growth, as well as obtaining nurturing
and care within your relationship.

What you can expect:
This Workshop includes brief
lectures, guided imagery, self-reflection, written exercises, and communication
processes.
While couples are invited
to participate and to build a supportive group atmosphere, they are not
pressured into unwelcomed self-disclosure. The workshop emphasizes partners
sharing with each other. You will not need to share with the larger group
unless you so choose. You will be asked to share and communicate with your
partner in structured ways designed to enhance understanding and empathy.
Confidentiality is maintained in a safe and comfortable environment.
