Parallel Lives: Fantasy and Imagination in Personal Development (Online)

We all daydream. We find it a pleasant and normal activity, but can it sometimes go too far? For certain gifted or vulnerable persons, daydreaming can become a secret and irresistible addiction which destroys their lives. It is being called Maladaptive Daydreaming.

These two lectures will use historical material, modern research and published case studies to look at fantasy life in all its many healthy and unhealthy variations. Both lectures are oriented towards a general Jungian audience but will be of interest to therapists who wish to be better able to identify and work with “fantasy prone” clients.
Each lecture will include time for questions and discussion.

*The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) has stopped pre-certifying ANY Continuing Education or Professional Development for mental health providers. The Jung Center cannot guarantee that the programs we provide will qualify for continuing education or Professional Development, nor can any other agency. The Jung Center uses high educational standards when selecting to designate events as "potentially appropriate for CEs", and in evaluating the outcomes of our educational services, and we believe them to meet the requirements of state licensing bodies.
