Centering exercise before couples speak during therapy with Robin Newman, LCSW in LI, NY
Whenever I start an Imago session with a couple, they often ask why we do a centering exercise before starting.
Part of why I believe in doing a centering exercises, is first of all, to calm oneself. It also sets up an openness to listen.
I have a therapy dog in this practice and I now like to use the metaphor of trying to see the world through a puppy's eyes.
Take that puppy-kind-of-attitude and use that when looking at your partner's issues. Be curious at what they're saying, opposed to getting defensive, annoyed and/or angry.

"My approach towards couples is oriented not only towards solving the problems the couple is facing, but to revive the feeling of love and affection they have towards each other."

I work with couples, families and individuals. I'm successful in guiding my patients through anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, addictions, and/or family conflicts.
