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.
