In this conference we will explore ways of working psychotherapeutically with those who are drawn into enmeshed adult relationships that inhibit healthy separation and autonomy. Enmeshment as an attachment style may originate with the needs of a narcissistic parent or family culture where personal boundaries are diffused, roles undifferentiated and an over-concern for the other can lead to a failure in autonomous development.
READ MORE...Paradoxically, the collusive, fused family, couple or parent-child dynamic may also enable a level of functioning for those family members, perhaps even preventing psychic collapse. We will be asking how this pattern can be safely and gently shifted in therapy to allow for a healthy balance between autonomy and intimacy.
Our speakers will incorporate psychoanalytic, attachment, mentalisation, systems theory and trauma theory, as well as Minuchin’s family work, to make sense of the mechanisms of merger. In asking how the client can let go of this need for entanglement, we will examine how therapy can most effectively engender new relational capacities, letting go of the introjects that maintain a dysfunctional bond and allowing new interpersonal patterns to emerge.
