Julie's memoir about learning of her husband's infidelity after his death (released June 9) was just chosen as Barnes and Noble's new novel to read! Perfection is the story of Julie Metz's journey through chaos and transformation as she creates a different life for herself and her young daughter. It is the story of coming to terms with painful truths, of rebuilding both a life and an identity after betrayal and widowhood. It is a story of rebirth and happiness--if not perfection.

May 13, 2009 One Wants To Stay And The Other May Leave- William Doherty
A very common but underemphasized therapeutic challenge occurs when a couple comes to therapy divided about whether to put effort into salvaging the relationship. If you try to start couples therapy, you risk allying with the motivated spouse and pursuing the disengaged one. If you are neutral about whether to work on the relationship, you risk alienating the partner who wants to save the marriage and appropriately challenging the reluctant partner. This session will present a practical protocol for help both partners work on their agendas while at the same time holding out hope for the benefits of proceeding with couples therapy.

William J. Doherty is past director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at the University of Minnesota, and founder of the new Citizen Professional Center. He has presented internationally and written extensively about couples therapy, including a book for couples titled Take Back Your Marriage.

May 6, 2009 Mother-Son Incest- Hani Miletski
Society?s denial about Mother-Son Incest is as strong as ever. We still face significant obstacles to preventing child sexual abuse, and we still have ways to go in meeting the recovery needs of survivors, especially boys and men. Men who were sexually abused as children, continue to encounter ridicule, minimization, and dismissal.
Hani Miletski, Ph.D., M.S.W., is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and holds a Doctoral degree in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, is a Certified Sex Therapist (Diplomate) and a Social Work Addiction Counselor, as well as a Certified Criminal Justice Specialist.

April 8, 2009 What is HeartMath and how it can be used to heal relationships?
Enhance your therapeutic skills by teaching your couples how to use their emotions instead of being used by their emotions. Join Ray Varlinski to learn how to integrate HeartMath's emWave? technology into your relationship practice and help your couples create greater psychophysiological calm and coherence. When the heart, brain and nervous system are aligned in harmonious communication and cooperation, an open, receptive and expanded state of empathy is created that assists your couples in the healing of their childhood wounds and in their use of the Couples Dialogue.
HRV (heart rate variability) feedback provides you and your couples? tools that help reduce the negative effects of stress, negative emotions and disconnection that are affecting couples at this time of economic and social change.

March 25, 2009 The Return of Desire - Getting the Sex You Want
Tammy Nelson, author, therapist and international speaker will talk about how Imago therapists can use some of the techniques she has developed for working with couples around sexuality. With Gina Ogden, PhD, LMFT, Tammy has developed a series of seminars for therapists to help couples working on sexual desire issues. This teleclass will review that information and listeners can learn specific interventions to use with couples to increase emotional and erotic satisfaction in relationships. Some issues around affairs, open relationships, erotic shutdown and other topics will be addressed. Questions and cases are encouraged from participants.

March 18, 2009 Sexually Abused Couples- Joe Kort
While the orthodox Imago model works effectively with most couples, it falls short when a partner or both have suffered childhood trauma especially those who have been sexually abused. This teleclass will address the flexibility necessary in working with these couples and helping them work through the trauma between them as a couple and individually.

March 11, 2009 Marketing Imago To Prospective Clients: Melva & Jesse Johnson
Marketing and explaining to prospective clients Imago theory and processes can be challenging. This is especially true for clients who have little, if any, counseling and/or psychotherapy experience. Therapists can also be intimidating because of the misperceptions uninformed people have about who we are and what we do. This is one of the reasons why Melva and Jesse wrote their book, ?Mining for Gold In Your Relationships.? The book, which combines theory and practice, uses actual case histories told in story form to enable readers to understand what we do, why we do it, and the powerful transformative tools we use as Imago therapists. It takes readers into the therapy office and demonstrates how we work with real life couples to help them transform their lives and relationships. Melva and Jesse will share ideas on how therapists can use their book to build their practices and will lead a ?round table? discussion allowing everyone on the call to share their best and most practical marketing ideas. Their Think Tank will follow a nationwide re-launch of their book in digital and audio form what will take place on February 24th.

March 4, 2009 What's so funny about that? Humor and Happiness in our Therapy Sessions and Presentations with Jill Fein Baker
Clients come to our offices and workshops in various states of distress, certainly not expecting to have fun, and often not having laughed with each other for some time. We will address the appropriate and potentially inappropriate use of humor with clients. If there's time, we will include some of the insights, benefits, and fit with Imago of positive psychology.

February 25, 2009 Straight Guise: When straight men have sex with other men- Joe Kort
Couples usually panic upon the revelation that a man has been sexual and/or on the internet seeking sex with other men. These couples need information and education as well as crisis intervention before making preconceived notions that the man is gay or bisexual. Joe Kort will discuss the various reason men have sex with men and are not gay.

February 18, 2009 Look Who's Talking Now: I Forgive You for Criticizing Me with Nedra Fetterman
I see couples therapy as the place for individuals and couples to learn about safety so that it is safe enough to soften or grow beyond defenses and survival strategies, embrace and heal the wounds so that two people are living from and relating to each other from their authentic core selves. Harville refers to this as the energetized core. Nedra is a licensed psychologist and Director of The Relationship Center in Ardmore, PA. She brings over 25 years of experience in working with individuals, couples and organizations and is currently supervising psychiatric residents at The University of Pennsylvania. Married to her husband Joe for 28 years and mother of 21 year old Ben, she is grateful to Imago for being - in the poet John O'Donohue's words - her "gateway to Spring."

January 28, 2009 Advanced Consultation and Supervision with Jette Simon
January 21, 2009 Sexual Satisfaction: The long and winding road to mature sex.
The Beatles' song "The Long and Winding Road," is a good metaphor for the sexual journey through life. Life presents many curves. some couples continue the ride finding sexual contentment, while others are thrown off course and seek the exit sign. This Think tank with Sylvia Rosenfeld will discuss sexual satisfaction and the "mature" couple. She will present the nine C's that lead to sexual contentment. Sylvia is an AASECT certified sex therapist, an Imago Therapist (advanced clinician), as well as a certified Imago Consultant.

January 14, 2009 From Chaos to Connection: Using Somatic Experiencing(SE) with Reactive Couples
When couple are so triggered and reactive that all our Imago tools fail to help them calm down enough to dialogue or connect with eachother, there is still more we can do. Somatic Experiencing uses an understanding of our biologically-based defense mechanisms and awareness of bodily sensations to help release trauma which has been stored in the nervous system. In addition to teaching the basics of SE, which are easily translated to clients, there will be case examples of using it with couples.
Cheryl Dolinger Brown, an LCSW in New York has happily been a part of the Imago community for a dozen years and is an Advanced Clinician and Certified Imago Consultant (CDB is CSW doing SE in NYC). She leads an Imago consultation group and is available for phone consultations (for Imago CEUs).
January 7, 2009 Yearly Review Dialogue with Sophie Slade
Developed by Ed Shea, and easily used with any couple, this is a great way to help them connect and be present, showing gratitude and checking in. Sophie Slade will go over the dialogue and share her experience with it, as well as help us to know more about how to use it in our sessions and in our own lives.

For those new to TeleForums

  1. Pick up your telephone and dial the telephone number at the appropriate time.
  2. After one ring, you will be automatically connected to the conference call. No operators, no waiting; it's fully automatic and immediate.
  3. After one hour, the call will end and everyone will hang up.

There are no special telephone company conference call charges. Your call to the 646 number will just be a regular long distance call ($4-$9 for the hour), as if you were calling a friend in Florida.

Using an automated teleconferencing bridge may be a new experience for some people. We've found the following instructions and tips work well.

How to Call Into the Bridge

  1. Put your dogs and kids in another room.
  2. Pick up your phone.
  3. If you have call-waiting, please disable it first by dialing 1170 and waiting for the dial tone (or by dialing *70 and waiting for dial tone).
  4. Please don't call the bridge number you've been given at any other time than during your scheduled time. There is no one "there" at the bridge number.
  5. The system is totally automatic -- there is no Operator.
  6. If you have a question for the host, please say your name first before you ask your question. Please let the host manage the call. You'll see how easily it works!

Tips for Callers

  1. Do not use Speaker Phones. If you use a Portable Phone, be aware they can introduce static as you walk around!
  2. If you have a two-line phone or other phones in your room/office, TURN OFF all ringers before calling in.
  3. Don't breathe into the mouthpiece. It's comical, but disruptive.
  4. On your phone bill, you will see just regular, long distance charges. There are NO other charges, hidden or otherwise. Ed paid a rental fee to cover the use of the bridge. We don't make money on your long distance.
  5. Most long distance carriers charge between $4 and $9 per hour for long distance calls so check with them.
  6. The reason I mention #4 and #5 above is that most teleconferencing companies charge a per minute access rate per caller. We don't do this. Ed paid a rental fee per hour for full use of the bridge. This keeps it very simple (and inexpensive) for everyone.
  7. Ideally, get a headset for your phone with a mute button. 

REMEMBER:

  1. Take the call in a quiet place.
  2. Do not put the call on hold.
  3. No car phones.
