Love Outside the Tenemos: What do we do when passion gets messy?
Evening Talk and Discussion with Deirdre Johnson
In our work as counsellors or psychotherapists we can be met with a client falling in love in a way that comes across as destructive: it may be that the relationship is hopelessly unrequited, or that it is transgressive in some way, that it is felt to be just too intense or too painful, or that other difficult feelings such as sadism or masochism seem to be purely destructive. Can the experience nonetheless have a value? If so, what? And what does this mean for how we might work with someone in this predicament?
Deirdre Johnson is a Psychotherapy Trainer for Re•Vision and a Jungian Analyst with the Association of Jungian Analysts. She has given many talks and workshops both here and abroad. She will be drawing on ideas from her book, "Love: Bondage or Liberation? A Psychological Exploration of the Meaning, Values and Danger of Falling in Love", to address these questions and to create the space for some lively discussion.
