Working with dreams 4 – part interactive online CPD series
What are dreams? Why do we dream? And why do dreams matter to psychotherapy?
While dreams were central to the early foundations of psychotherapy following Freud’s “Interpretation of Dreams”, therapists today may receive little or no teaching on them in their primary training. So, when a client shares a dream in a session (which they often do spontaneously), we may feel unsure or confused about how to work with them effectively in practice. The Inner Citadel Institute’s CPD interactive workshop series on working with dreams aims to address this gap.
The first workshop will introduce the topic from a pluralistic theoretical perspective. The following workshops in the series will go into more depth on specific theoretical modalities for working with dreams using psychoanalytic approaches. Participants are invited to attend any of the individual workshops or join the whole series. The series is open to psychotherapists, counsellors, or therapists of any modality with an interest in working with dreams. No prior experience or knowledge is required.
