Responses to therapy vary from one person to another. Neither AIRTA nor any individual therapist can guarantee any particular result from participating in Imago Relationship Therapy, or in an IRI sponsored workshop.

Before you engage a therapist or educator, make sufficient inquiry to inform yourself about their credentials, character, and skills, and satisy yourself that the services they offer are appropriate to your requirements.
