SUMMARY:An image-based approach to psychotherapy with Allan Frater
DESCRIPTION:CaPPP CPD event Saturday 13th September 2025 – 10.00am to 5.00pm \nWatch a video by Allan: https://youtube.com/shorts/7nhxBVLm6iI?feature=share \nJoin author Allan Frater and learn an image-based approach to psychotherapy \nAllan is a psychotherapist with a long-term research interest in story and imagination – which came to fruition in his 2021 book\, ‘Waking Dreams: Imagination in Psychotherapy & Everyday Life’ \nThis workshop offers a pre-view of material from Allan’s forthcoming book developing the role of imagination in psychosynthesis psychotherapy – structured around an adaptation of the ‘Stages of Psychosynthesis’: \nStage1: story identification \nStage2: story disidentification \nStage3: story emergence \nStage4: living between stories \nThese stages provide a basis for understanding presenting issue symptoms as an impoverishment of imagination – and for the healing and recovery from those symptoms\, not as is often assumed\, by the replacement of fantasy with reality\, but rather with the cultivation of imaginative life itself. \nAs we shall learn on the workshop\, there is no getting away from stories as imaginative experiences\, but what we can do is help the client to re-imagine the story being told about self and world\, creating a new expanded story better able to incorporate the presenting issue. \nEvent Learning Outcomes \n\nDistinguishing the benefits of working with imaginative experiences from the limitations of an interpretative-analytical emphasis upon figuring out what images mean.\nHow to appreciate images as the raw-material of therapeutic work within memories\, present-moment-perceptions (the transference) and future fantasies.\nApplying the playful unpredictability and creative adaptability of imagining so as to avoid the deadening and humourless effects of a formulaic scripted approach.\nUnderstanding how the synthesising capacities of imagination align with psychosynthesis theory and technique.\nWorking therapeutically with imagination as a meta-function which includes sensations\, feelings\, thoughts\, intuitions\, perceptions and actions.\nUnderstanding imagination to be in operation all-the-time\, not just as ‘pictures inside the mind’\, but also in normal everyday life in the physical world.\n\nFacilitator \nAllan Frater is the author of ‘Waking Dreams: Imagination in Psychotherapy & Everyday Life’ (TranspersonalPress\, 2021). He is a psychotherapist in private practice and since 2011 has taught at the Psychosynthesis Trust\, on the Foundation and Counselling Diploma courses as well as CPD events related to his research interests in imagination\, ecopsychology and transpersonal psychotherapy. \nQualifications: Diploma in Supervision with Soul (2013)\, MA Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy (2011)\, PGDip Psychosynthesis Counselling (2007) MBACP (Accred) UKCP (reg) \nFind out more: wildimagination.uk | @wakingdreams20 \nPrice: CaPPP Members Early Bird £65.00\, CaPPP Members £70\, Non-members £75.00 \nPlaces are limited and must be booked in advance by 12.00 on Wednesday 10th Sep 2025 \nBooking: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk \nRegistration & refreshments: 9.30 to 10.00 refreshments will be available throughout the day and are included in the price. \nLunch: Lunch is included in the price \nVenue: Engineer’s House\, The Promenade\, Avon\, Clifton Down\, Bristol BS8 3NB \n
