It has long been recognized that therapists have a history of being caretakers in their families of origin. Yet as a profession we may not have pursued how that role impacted our own personal growth, values, ideas and limitations. In this workshop we will consider the vulnerabilities and strengths that result from being precociously assigned the responsibility for others’ happiness or even their psychic survival.
READ MORE...We will ask what role does the resulting guilt, shame, and desire to rescue and be rescued play in the creation of both our theories and preferred interventions. Do therapist’s tend to be excessively passive as a result of not having any real power as children when faced with the daunting responsibility of being soother, peacemaker, mediator and even entertainer?
In the spirit of expanding the conversation about the dynamics in the therapeutic dyad, this presentation focuses on three topics, including the therapist’s early experiences and how they impact both our theory and practice, the natural human limits of empathy, and how the analyst and patient’ may “collide” in their experiences related to parental fragility.
This program is designed for working clinicians, focusing heavily on clinical examples and opening up conversation about the ways we work and how we might creatively enhance our interventions with clients.
