Summary

Susan Schwartz | Saturday, Oct 18 | 10 - 11:30a CT | Potentially appropriate for 1.5 CEs* | Based on Susan’s latest book, An Analytical Exploration of Love and Narcissism, learn how the narcissistic response drives the Jungian process of individuation by confronting internal splits, shadow aspects, and self-dissociation to move beyond imposter feelings and facades toward growth and expansion.

Description

The narcissistic response to life propels the Jungian process of individuation. The internal splits and fractured selves set up distance between who one is and who one wants to be. Emphasized is the concept of the shadow, dissociation and the relationship to narcissism. This person is characterized by feelings of fraudulence and vulnerability bounded by a wall of impenetrability, a form of self-dissociation, leaving feelings of being an imposter. Reality is fraught with anguish, panic, absence and void although the person exudes an appealing but elusive facade. Life can no longer be avoided with compulsions, perfectionism and ego-drive. The growth towards maturity involves exploring the reality of the psyche, something difficult for this personality type.
