Be our valentine.

Valentine's Day is coming up and we have a unique event just for you!

Valentine's Partner Thai Massage Workshop with Rissa Wray

Rissa has been teaching Partner Thai Massage to everyday couples since 2013! Thai massage is the perfect modality to feel good in your body too as you work on your loved one. The positions are meant to be as easy as possible for you so that you can feel comfortable and pay attention to your partner as they are receiving.

Thai massage (https://www.thaimassagestpete.com/thai-massage) is basically an applied version of yoga - it's very meditative. And, the neat thing about trying something new together is that neither of you is ahead of the other! You both get to show up as beginners, giddy, curious, perhaps a bit nervous... with your best friend by your side :)

Can't make it or not sure if you want to participate in a group? Rissa offers private Couples Thai Massage sessions (poly peeps welcome too, of course).

You can reserve a private session for Valentine's Day here. (https://squareup.com/appointments/book/bg2z2yewiza8bw/FV2KEC8CNDM94/date)

This ♥️

In Imago Therapy we teach mindfulness and intentionality in relationships. For partners to have deep and lasting connection we urge them to remain mindful and intentional about how they interact. We encourage them to observe their visceral responses to triggering aspects of their relationship.

As with most behaviors we are acting and reacting from a foundation developed early in childhood. We learned what love was (or seemed to be) and how to get it (in ways that were effective or ineffective) during our earliest and most dependent stages of life.

If we were unhappy and lacked feelings of acceptance, if we were ridiculed or shamed, if we were barely tolerated or abused...we can change that in our adult lives through intentional behaviors. Some of us lead lives of full intention to be or provide to others the role model or experience we did not have. In this way we heal ourselves and allow those we care about to feel the love we did not feel, get the warmth we lacked, and so forth.

Intentionality is also behaving with integrity...in a respectful way for both ourselves and for those we engage with in relationships.

"Often times we think that finding a partner or a spouse is about finding your perfect match.

It’s not.

It’s about finding the person you’re willing to do the work with. The person you’re willing to let all of your insecurities and inadequacies shine bright with so that you can work to overcome them together. It’s about accepting someone (and being accepted) as they / you are in this moment and committing to grow together, even when it gets messy and hard which it most definitely will (because after all, you are two humans joining together and it’s hard enough to be one human alone).

These two, as far as I’ve seen, have always been very open about their journey together as a couple. People can hashtag all day long, but this is the only real relationship goal that matters.

More of this please."

How to make your relationship healthy and long-lasting.

“What used to be defined by rules and duty and obligation now has to take place in conversation. And so everything is a freakin’ negotiation!” —Esther Perel

The rockstar therapist explains how the pace of change is transforming the way we couple up.

“In terms of healing, what we do know is that pain is universal, but the meaning that we give to our pain, and the way we narrate our pain, is highly cultural and contextual. And there is nothing that helps us deal better with those experiences than our connections with others. Social connection is the No. 1 salve for most of the pain, and the hurt, and the trauma that we will experience.”

From the New Yorker Festival, the couples therapist and podcast host discusses infidelity, apologies, and the problem with wedding vows these days.
