Presented by Corey Hooper, M.F.T.
When I had journeyed half of our life’s way,
I found myself within a shadowed forest,
for I had lost the path that does not stray.
The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Dante Alighieri
In my initial sessions with my Control patient, I truly felt unmoored and fragmented. I was reluctant to dive deeper and wondered if I could survive the intense anxiety that permeated the room. For a while, my patient’s fears and defenses held us both hostage. However, as we continued, I found that the Self, via my patient’s dreams, was guiding us into a life that had moments of solace and meaning.
In this forum, I will discuss how the analyst can learn to trust the psyche without being overwhelmed or needing to control the outcome of analytic sessions. I will describe how the analyst and patient can survive a feeling of not being enough. I will also describe how the Indian epic, The Mahabharata, the topic of my Creative project, was a guiding polestar and gave me direction through the darkest moments of the Control phase.
Learning Objectives:
This Forum is designed to help you:
• Practice trusting the psyche so as not to control the outcome of analytic sessions.
• Describe the guidance and direction that is revealed in the Indian epic, The Mahabharata.
