Sender Receiver: The Imago Dialogue

The Imago Dialogue is a communication technique that involves taking turns speaking and actively listening. The sender shares 1-3 sentences about a topic while the receiver mirrors back what they heard without criticism. They keep discussing the same topic until the receiver can summarize the sender's perspective. The goal is to build understanding and empathy through reflection and validation of each other's experiences and feelings.
