A Half Day Workshop

New Center for Psychoanalysis (NCP)

Saturday, February 17, 2018

 

What is this thing called love? Did Freud, Keats and Shelley know? This workshop explores healthy romantic love, intimacy and sexuality how with people with personality disorders (narcissist, borderline) can destroy the capacity to maintain an intimate relationship. It offers specific approaches and techniques to explain the psychodynamics couples who start out with a loving relationships but lurking in the shadows are unconscious elements that seek to destroy. It also explores how and why couples stay in painful, conflictual, destructive, never ending, relationships (traumatic bonding) or what I describe in my previous books as “the dance” (how one partner projects a negative feeling onto the other and how the other then identifies or over-identifies with it). Based on many publications this workshop offers many communication techniques as it expands to many other types of relational love bonds.
