This workshop will aim to define and explore the functions of fantasies and nightmares in the human psyche and creative ways to use them in our work with clients.
Alan maintains that, if we are to work creatively with our clients in a way that is both meaningful and transformative, we need to embrace a wide range of interventions to fully utilise the therapeutic encounter. He believes that fantasies and nightmares offer excellent opportunities to work with core wounds and enduring relational themes in the immediate moment, enabling clients to connect at a deeper level with their emotions and their ‘felt sense’ of being in the world. Alan recognises that the images and metaphors that are evoked in fantasies and nightmares are provocative and can become catalysts for deep personal growth for both client and counsellor.
