Anxiety and the Myth of the Dragon Fight
October 4, 1997 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT
In the workshop the discussion will focus on the symbol of the dragon fight as we encounter it in our daily life and in the practice of the psychotherapist. The dragon to be fought may show itself in its poisonous effect, consisting in an overdose of fear, guilt or shame that constantly undercuts one’s sense of self-esteem. It is the question of how to deal with and overcome fears that prevents us from leading a full, satisfactory life. Examples from analytic practice will also be discussed.
