An evening talk and discussion with the Hampshire Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy on the image-centric approach to psychotherapy set out in my book, ‘Waking Dreams: Imagination in Psychotherapy and Everyday Life’
Instead of treating images as symbols pointing to meaning elsewhere, the evening will emphasise the healing and transformative effects of imaginative experience itself.
Key principles and the basis of a practical method will be presented for image work within focussed applications such as active-imagination, art-based and ecotherapy methods as well as general therapeutic work with memories and future fantasies, present moment perceptions and the transference.
The presentation will include brief experiential exercises and leave plenty of time for questions and discussion. It will be of interest to any practitioner interested in working more creatively and freely with images and imagining.
