The Imago Dialogue

The Imago Dialogue is a communication technique used in relationships to foster understanding and connection. It involves three main steps: mirroring, validation, and empathy. In mirroring, one partner reflects back what the other said to ensure clarity. Validation means recognizing the other’s feelings and perspectives as valid, even if you disagree. Empathy goes deeper by engaging emotionally, showing care and compassion for the partner's experiences. This structured approach helps couples address conflicts constructively, build intimacy, and deepen their emotional connection, allowing them to communicate more effectively and understand each other better.
