COURSE DESCRIPTION
The yearning to be loved and love in return are some of the deepest longings. Understanding the anxieties that inhibit fulfillment facilitate long sought gratification. This course seeks to help clinicians to facilitate understanding and gratification in their patients.
Some people experience intimacy and sexuality as wrong. They flee when intimacy is possible or choose unattainable lovers to minimize guilt. A fear of being controlled is an obstacle for others. Attempts to control the beloved minimize anxiety but inhibit spontaneous happy love. Others derive satisfaction from suffering and choose abusive partners. A tentative sense of self leads to a fear of being swallowed up by the beloved and compel the lover to withdraw. Depressed personalities are angry at prior frustrations in life and fear that any expression of emotional need will drive the lover away. Self absorbed people do not see the beloved but only a reflection of themselves. Empathizing is difficult.
Target Audience
