Learn how to understand dreams and how to reflect on them to enrich your personal life and professional work.
Dreaming is a common experience for many people. Understanding more about our dreams and learning how to reflect on them is enriching for personal life as well as for our professional work.
Our interest in dreams is ancient and goes back as far as records began. There are numerous references to dreams in the Bible and other religious texts. Bion, (1962) mentions dreams as a contact barrier between the conscious and unconscious mind, which reminds me of the image of a gateway providing both a protective defence yet access.
This paradox is partly what draws us to the enigmatic quality of dreams and can be both fascinating and frustrating all at the same time.
This workshop will consider the resources and relevance in working with dreams. I draw on ideas from Jungian psychoanalysis, as well as relational psychotherapy and transactional analysis to provide a structure for working with dreams in a meaningful and respectful way.
Participants are invited to bring a dream of their own or a dream from a client that they wish to explore further.
Learning Outcomes:
-Introduction to our human interest in dreaming
-Basic ideas from Freud and Jung Input of clinical examples and practice as a relational psychotherapist
-Structure of working through a dream for personal use and/or clinical practice
-Discussion and exploration in small groups and large group
Key Benefits:
Interest, insight, and developing skills for practice.
