Introductory Workshop on Understanding and Responding to Client Dreams

Additional Mandatory Date: March 18, 2022 (attendance on both days is required)

CEs: 6

Overview

Many mental health practitioners have received little formal training in working with clients’ dreams. By emphasizing how to engage collaboratively with clients in dream exploration, the workshop provides an approach clinicians can integrate into their practice. Based on Carl Jung’s view that all dreams come in the interest of healing and wholeness, participants will learn how dream exploration can play a role in clients’ progress.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

1. Identify basic concepts of Jungian Theory, including layers of the psyche, individuation, shadow, and archetypes. 
2. Describe key elements of dreams, including their structure, use of symbolic language, sources of content, and multiple levels of meaning. 
3. Use a collaborative approach in listening and responding to client dreams. 
4. Implement basic dream work techniques, such as working with client associations, posing the “Six Magic Questions”, and using projections.
5. Assess the benefits and challenges of integrating dream work into their clinical practice.
