This course meets the qualifications for 7 hours of continuing education
| No theme seems more to preoccupy us than the desire for relationships. The best relationship that we can achieve with the intimate "Other" is a function of the relationship we achieve with ourselves. This course will explore the dynamics of our hidden agenda in the search for the "Magical Other" and the difference between being in love and loving. What is our sense of "self," the precepts about the Other, and the patterns which our history generates. What creates our relationships, our yearnings, our repetitions? These are the open-ended questions James Hollis explores in The Eden Project Please join us in this 7 unit course. |
Hollis,
in his most recent work, asks us to think about relationships and the
fantasies we often unconsciously have about them. He believes that we
can fantasize that our relationship can "rescue us" from old
hurts and wounds that we carry from our past. By "rescue,"
Hollis means that we can unconsciously expect that our significant other
will make up for, or fix, our old disappointments and "take care
of us" in ways we did not feel cared for when we were younger. The belief that a relationship can rescue us puts a burden on the partnership that often collapses it. Hollis challenges us to first know ourselves and thus be more available to others. In order to do this we must become more cognizant of our inner needs and desires. To start this process is to become aware of the expectations we have of others, and to examine how much we want them to take care of us emotionally. His ideas can help us develop connections with others based on growth and maturity. This helps us learn what are reasonable expectations of love relationships. http://www.silversidecounseling.com/pages/books.html |
