imago

Definition:

Imago refers to an unconscious image or mental representation of a significant person, often originating in early childhood. These imagos shape how individuals perceive and relate to others, particularly in relationships, and are influenced by archetypes and personal experiences.

Example:

Exploring the imago helps clients understand how past relationships influence current dynamics. For instance, recognising a parental imago projected onto a partner can lead to healthier and more conscious relationships.
