Giving and Getting the Supervision
You Need: Imago Supervision
(SC-1)
This course will teach participants how to conceptualize couples' dynamics through the unique Imago lens, so that they can prepare cases and present them in a way that will allow them to get the support they need. It will also teach participants how to supervise others, either imago peers, or non-imago therapists with the focus on looking at character structure, and how it gets in our way and keeps us from being as effective as we would like to be. Maya will use exercises, videotapes, and lectures. Each participant is asked to bring a videotape of a session. Enrollment is limited to 8 participants.
CE Credits: 24 3 Days

Imago
Retooling: Taking it to the Next Level Together (SC-2)
NEXT OPPORTUNITY:
Many imago therapists were trained many years ago. In the past 13 years, Maya and many others have deepened the original theory. Come and learn some of the new material that has been created by many in our community. Maya has been fortunate to have compiled much of that material created throughout our community and wishes to create a forum where more voices can be heard, and where others can benefit from them. Bring your own unique contributions from your experience in the office and share with others. Enrollment is limited to 15 participants.

Couples
Helping Couples: Using the Power of Couples' Groups (SC-3)
Expand the power of Imago Relationship Therapy by offering couple's groups to your clients. Not only do they learn from your expertise, but they learn and grow by watching others. Maya has been facilitating couple's groups since she became a workshop presenter in 1990 and has found that couples that participate in these groups have greater success and are able to hold onto the ideas and skills. Learn how to teach couple's to facilitate each other, so that each participant in the group will have a buddy couple to call on when they get into trouble. Participating in a three days couples' group and also practicing your leadership teach this course. This course is open to all imago therapists whether partnered or not. If you are not partnered, either bring a friend or we will work to find a partner for you. Enrollment is limited to 10 participants.

Beyond
the Getting the Love You Want Workshops (SC-5)
The Getting the Love You Want Workshop is a wonderful product. Many presenters say how much they love it, but want something else to offer to their clients. Over the past 25 years, Maya has designed and presented many different types of classes and workshops. Through that experience she has gained a deep understanding of how to balance cognitive, emotional and physical energy in a workshop. Come and learn the art of workshop creation so that you can add to your workshop offerings. Enrollment is unlimited.

Difficult
Couples: Discovering Your Next Growth Edge (SC-7)
Maya believes there is no such thing as a difficult couple, just couples that push against our own growth edges. Come and learn about your own denied, lost and missing selves by bringing a tape of your most difficult couple and sharing it with others. In this course, you will learn to celebrate your failures and see them as opportunities. This work is done in a supportive, non-judgmental environment that encourages fearless self-examination without shame. Enrollment is limited to 8 participants.

How
to Manage the Difficult Issue of Trust: Affairs, Addictions and
other Exits (SC-9)

Art of Teaching: In Your Office and Around your Community (SC-10)

In addition you will learn how to create lectures and present them to church groups and other venues around your community that will help you build your practice and spread the Imago Word. Maya brings experience as a clinician, a workshop presenter, a lecturer, and a college professor. Enrollment: Unlimited

Characterological Growth (applies
toward Advanced Clinician certification)
NEXT OPPORTUNITIES:
This three day experience deepens theoretical understanding of characterological adaptations to pain through experiential processing at a personal level. In the Talmud there is a quote, "We can't see the world as it is; we see it as we are." The profound training takes the defense of projection and highlights the many ways we put it to use. As long as projection is available to us, we are out of connection with ourselves and others. This personal training is both exquisitely simple and complex, at the same time. Previous participants describe the training as "extraordinary and transformational."
