Escaping the Prison You Didn’t Know You Were In with Jeffrey B. Rubin, PhD, Psychoanalyst
Please join us for an exploration of ways we are imprisoned by our attempts to heal, and how Meditative Psychoanalysis may hold the keys to our escape.
In this presentation we’ll explore four themes:
Theme 1: Challenges of childhood, emotional self-splinting and “curing the patient of their practice of self-cure.”
Theme 2: Two human super-powers: we all communicate more than we know about where we are imprisoned and how we might be freed, AND we can train and drastically deepen our capacity to hear more than we ever expected.
Theme 3: Searching for the Wisdom Beneath the Apparent Madness – there is an emotional logic underlying even human behavior that seems crazy or self-destructive – delusions, for example, are revelatory not delusive
Theme 4: Meditative Psychoanalysis and the Psychoanalyst as Jazz Improviser – the union of presence, meaning, and liberated intimacy
