Marriage Counseling
Sally K. Palaian, Ph.D.
With the divorce rate in Michigan and in the rest of the USA running at 50% or more of all
marriages, it is no surprise that so many successful couples have turned to marriage
counseling. It is a sensible alternative which keeps alive your significant investment in your
partner.
- Do you feel that you can’t bear the conflict of your relationship anymore?
- Are you tired of fighting about the same things over and over again?
- Do you fantasize about being with another type of person?
- Do you feel your partner doesn’t understand you?
- Do you want more from your relationship—not just the status quo of getting by?
Marriage counseling is an investment you can make in your relationship which will pay
dividends over a long life together. Seeking counseling sets a shining example for your
children, and actually helps them with future relationships.
Marriage counseling is for couples who...
- Want to enrich a good relationship
- Are just beginning a relationship
- Are in a difficult relationship and want to resolve longstanding conflicts
- Are in serious distress and are willing to work to see if the relationship can still work
Marriage counseling helps couples...
- Re-establish the excitement and connection of partners' early time dating together
- Identify factors that originally lead to your partner selection
- Develop a safe way to encourage the safe expression of true feelings
- Identify pathways for partners to heal old wounds and grow
- Develop new communication skills which break destructive cycles of conflict
- Establish a deeper level of trust with your partner by increasing safety
- Transform a relationship into a lasting source of love and companionship

Based on Dr. Harville Hendrix's popular book, Getting the Love You Want, this marriage
counseling technique combines intensive self-awareness work with behavior techniques that
couples can use outside of counseling sessions to create more safety and security with each
other.
Sally is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and she uses this technique with her Michigan
clients to establish a safe and neutral place where couples can quickly begin real healing.
Imago therapy is based on the premise that our childhood experiences form an unconscious
image or Imago. Our unconscious images play a powerful role in the formation of our identity
and choice in partner selection. These unconscious forces that attract us to our partner are
also the source of conflicts and power struggles that develop in any committed relationship.
Imago therapy provides a pathway for learning how to heal rather than hurt by becoming
conscious of the childhood wounds which so greatly influence our patterns of perception and
behavior.
Imago therapy also helps in the development of important skills for the resolutions of ineffectual
behaviors and self-defeating defensive strategies.
Imago relationship therapy is also for singles as well as couples who want to...
- Understand Past Relationships
- Prepare for healthy relating
- Break destructive patterns
- Put old hurts to rest
- Create the groundwork for a satisfying and fulfilling relationship
You and your partner will learn how to break patterns of habitual conflict using the Imago
Dialogue. This involves exercises taught to you by Sally that you can take and use at home
which will make it easier for you to discuss important issues with your partner.
Issues that always ignite arguments that solve nothing. Don't wait for a marital crisis to cause
serious problems. Contact Sally so that she can learn more about your situation and tell you
how she could help. For more information or else to schedule an appointment please call (248)
