Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Mary Kay Cocharo
"A state of well-being includes awareness of one's self, a sense of responsibility, compassion for others, and a world view that gives meaning to life..."
As an Imago Relationship Therapist it is my goal to help people in romantic
relationships better understand why painful conflict arises, and how to use
it as an opportunity to deepen a loving connection. The methodology involves
easy-to-grasp, practical tools - such as actively mirroring your partner’s
words without judgement - designed to take the sting out of active arguments
and encourage instead a loving curiosity about the stories we each bring to
our journey together.
The result is that individuals grow up into mature and conscious adults who can not only experience deep and loving connection with one another, but who can also raise healthy, integrated, empathic children, and can contribute positively to this planet.
