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. 

 

What You Will Learn

  • Identify meaningful dream and imagery cues, themes, and components characteristic of child, adolescent, adult, elder, and gender with sensitivity to cultural/ethnic issues and considerations
  • Explore six theories, innovative approaches, and proven methods of dream work and therapeutic imagery methods
  • Recognize crucial dream, imagery, and traumatic memory components and dynamics
  • Apply effective therapeutic dream work, traumatic memory integration, and imagery approaches and intervention methods relevant to inpatient, outpatient, and educational contexts
  • Incorporate six research-based components of an individual wellness recovery plan utilizing real life problems, images, and scenarios
  • Explore legal and ethical issues, dilemmas, and considerations impacting dream work and therapeutic imagery to ensure quality treatment consistent with state and professional standards
