THE WOUNDED SELF
THE OWNED CHILD, The Symbiotic Character
How to work with THE SYMBIOTIC CHARACTER
The essence of the Symbiotic character etiology is this: natural attempts at separation are blocked, cause parental anxiety, or are actively punished. At the same time the child’s natural abilities for empathic mirroring are over valued and reinforced by parents who require merger with the child in order to feel secure or worthwhile.
The Symbiotic has not developed a self they can call their own, but has learned to borrow or fuse their identity with someone else. The symbiotic has not been able to express aggression and has not therefore been able to separate.
On the opposite end of the continuum is the Borderline Character of the Owned Child whose extreme moods and impulsive behaviour can make this person difficult to work with.
This workshop will enable you to:
- Understand the developmental origins of the Owned child
- Identify the symbiotic adaptations
- Know how to keep boundaries and hold the therapeutic process
- Learn about Hot and Cold Rage, and how to work therapeutically with clients' rage
- Resolve splitting and build a cohesive sense of self
