SELF SABOTAGE: The Ghost of Unconscious Loyalties

SELF SABOTAGE, Fear of SUCCESS and Fear of ENVY

Please inquire!

In this group, Dr. Kavaler-Adler will help participants to understand the underpinnings of self sabotage, fear of envy, and fear of success in both their patients and in themselves, by helping them to understand the unconscious loyalties that bind them to patterns of self sabotage.

Participants of this group will have a unique opportunity to look into their internal world experiences during the psychic guided visualization. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and develop a group bond to aid each other in working with their fears and conflicts.

Each session will begin with a guided psychic visualization. Those who share the dialogues from their internal worlds in the external world of the group will receive help to see how their internal conflicts around self sabotage, envy, and fears of success are inhibiting them on their journey through life. Participants will be helped to experience the feelings and thoughts that may be blocked or unarticulated due to loyalties to early life attachments, and due to internalized identifications with inhibiting and envious figures from their past and present.

The different affect states related to envy and retaliation against the self for ambitious strivings, which involve hostile and murderous impulses, will be defined when they are experienced in the group. In this way, the work of letting go can proceed through reaching affect states of grief and loss that renew love, and thus renew the basic human capacity for connection that inspires the individual creative genius in each person.
