I interview fellow Imago therapist and psychologist Carol Dixon - based in the UK.

Here are some of the ideas we will explore: 

  • The value of upstream prevention
  • The healing potential of a corrective emotional response
  • Healing together; the profound effect of witnessing another’s healing journey
  • Listening to and validating your child doesn’t undermine your parenting
  • The value of validation
  • How important the skill of articulating your experience is
  • The challenge of validating your child without being unrealistic
  • Curiosity as a central driver of growth
  • Downstream vs upstream (prevention is better than cure)
  • The survival suit (defence mechanisms) - adaptive and maladaptive expression
  • Open and hidden wishes
  • The agenda of love is not happiness.
