Encountering The Shadow In Our Dreams
December 7, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Prepaid Cost: $85.00 – $100.00Event Navigation
Presented by Michal Aizenman, L.P.C.C.
“How little know we what we are
How less what we may be” – Anne Brontë
In this theoretical and experiential workshop participants will have the opportunity to practice Jung’s approach to dream work, utilizing his concepts of active imagination, amplification, psychic energy, and the shadow. We will examine some of the similarities and differences between Jung and Freud’s approach to the unconscious especially as it pertains to working with dreams. As we analyze the dream, we will focus on the function of the shadow in dreams, as a way of integrating aspects of the personality that are often evacuated, projected outward, devalued, or dismissed because they are found to be too disruptive to the preservation of an overly adaptive ego.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe what is meant by the term active imagination and how it is used in psychotherapy;
- Describe what is meant by the term amplification and how it is utilized in psychotherapy;
- Describe what is meant by the term shadow in Jungian theory and practice;
- Give an example of how the shadow manifests in dreams;
- Describe some of the clinical difficulties in working with a patient with an overly adaptive ego;
- Describe how dream work can be of value in working with a patient with an overly adaptive ego.
