In part 2 of my interview with author, therapist, and adult attachment expert Dr. Diane Poole Heller we talk about how the different attachment styles can affect our dreams, as well as some tips for working with dreams and waking life situations to heal our attachment wounds. We also visit the topic of ghosting, and Diane provides some very valuable insights about why people do this. We look at healing metaphors, and Diane shares some of her own dreams and how they have helped her in her healing journey.

Dreams of Love and Romance

Wednesday, February 4, 2015
at East West Bookshop in Seattle
Dreams of Love and Romance
7-8:30 pm $15

Many of our night time dreams have to do with love and romance. But when we translate their meaning to waking life understanding, they may have everything (or nothing!) to do with our relationships to other people. This workshop will explore the most common dream themes we have regarding love, lust, relationships, sexuality, romance, and our connectedness to ourselves and others. You will learn the universal meanings of these dream themes, as well as how to understand what the dreams mean for you, specifically. We will also look at how our dreams can help us with our relationships, whether or not the dreams appear to be about them. Presented by MIMI PETTIBONE
