DissolvingWhen we speak of defenses or self-images dissolving during a
session, we clearly don't claim that a given boundary or image
dissolves permanently upon being brought to awareness, even when
the experience of space results. As in many therapeutic processes,
the process is much more complex. It involves reactions of anxiety
to the expansion taking place, habitual responses to demands from
the environment which are based on the old self-images, and resistance
to the arising of ever deeper layers of object relations units,
as well as the positive aspects associated with the sense of expansion
and the intrinsically satisfying experiences of insight. (The
Void, pg 47) |
