Who We Are and Where We Come From: Judi Wonder, your couple’s counselor at Cedar Light Counseling and Coaching, is trained as a level I and II Guttmann Couple’s Therapist and has extensive knowledge in Imago Therapy – a therapy that includes a specialized dialogue that helps couple’s express themselves and feel HEARD, which in turn develops mutual empathy and an increased perspective of your partner. Imago follows the theory of Object Relations – which means how we form attachments, trust and bonds as children. We carry wounds that occurred in our primary relationships from our families of origin, and unconsciously project these onto our partner, either wanting our partners to be different, or the same as our parents. In our partners, we see the hopes of feeling once again safe and trusting as we all wished to be as infants, and of course as we all need and require as humans. Our significant relationships become an opportunity to heal our childhood wounds.
