Overview

When a client brings you a dream, how do you help them to understand it? Dreams have exceptional healing and diagnostic potential.

They point to what matters most to our clients, and when we attend to them in sessions, it deepens and accelerates the process of psychotherapy. In this course you will learn an engaging, experiential way to talk about dreams with your clients. We will also look at the clinical benefits to dreamwork, and how the current science of dreaming supports its use.

You want to:

 

  • Understand how to work with client dreams with skill and confidence.
  • Work with nightmares to reduce their frequency, and the related distress they cause.
  • Understand how current dream and sleep science informs clinical practice and supports the use of dreamwork.
  • Learn how to work with dreams in series in a way that helps you diagnose and track clinical progress.
  • Learn to show your clients how to engage experientially with their dreams, deepening the process of psychotherapy.
  • Understand how to work with bad dreams and trauma-related nightmares in safe and constructive ways.
  • Help your client make the most of the healing potential inherent in their dreams.
  • Have a deeper understanding of how to work with dreams in an embodied, experiential way.
  • Be able to help dream clients recall, record and engage with their dreams constructively and experientially.
  • Understand the different kinds of nightmares and how to make wise clinical choices in working with them.
  • Understand the basics of focusing-oriented, embodied dreamwork and how to find ‘help’ to make dreamwork more constructive.
  • Have developed an open-minded way of seeing that the dream’s more disturbing elements may hold the key to transformation, and be able to facilitate such changes in your dream clients.
  • In general, be more adept and comfortable with the fluid, experiential engagement with client dreams (and your own.)
