For over 15 years now Dana Cole have been teaching couples how to create the safety and understanding each of us craves. She guide couples to see each other with compassionate curiosity, skills that are simple but counterintuitive. She have been working with couples using a theory and practice called Imago Therapy. This is based on the best selling book called "Getting the Love You Want" by Harville Hendrix, with whom she personally trained. She also work with gay and lesbian couples, and know that this work applies to all couples, all people.
Among other trainings, her work has been enhanced with a year-long course in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a somatic approach to working with trauma. Sometimes feelings can become overwhelming; Sensorimotor techniques help titrate the amount of feeling you want to feel at a given time leaving all of you, not just your feelings, in charge.
It is almost impossible to work with couples when one partner is "flooded" (only feelings, not able to access thoughts) due to past trauma. She have the necessary tools to work with the trauma, thus allowing the couple to work it out with each other, or clearing the way for a relationship to happen.
