Description

Reflections and Traces of the Unconscious

Dream work and therapeutic image modification is an often neglected yet valuable inroad and component to healing, wellness, and effective treatment. You don’t need a breakdown of the mental health statistics to know that disturbing dreams, PTSD flashbacks, traumatic memories, hallucinations, obsessive fantasies, and unbidden intrusive images frequently impact and contribute to personal decompensation, mood/thought dysregulation, at-risk behavior, and interpersonal disturbance. As mental health practitioners, we must lead the way to properly assess, treat, and intervene as necessary with our patients and at-risk clients; yet many mental health professionals are not fully prepared or thoroughly trained for such crucial tasks.

 

This in-depth course provides the latest research and evidence-based therapeutic tools for effectively intervening with your clients’ dreams, traumatic memories, and unbidden images.

This workshop offers innovative and proven therapeutic assessment and intervention methods for effective psychological triage, psychoeducation, and practical daily life coping skills. In conjunction with fine-tuning professional dream work and therapeutic imagery processes and methods needed to meaningfully address and treat your clients, you gain two hours of ethics by examining clinical practice challenges, mistakes, and scenarios. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring their own or a patient’s intriguing dreams or disturbing images for workshop training in more effective dream work and therapeutic imagery processing and integration, while of course maintaining anonymity without specific identifiers.

"Dr. Gary Massey is well-versed on dreamwork. His approach is rational and is health and wellness-based instead of focusing on what is wrong with a person and needs to be fixed. I concur with this approach."
