June Workshop: Words as a Window to the Unconscious
Tuesdays, June 7 and 14, 2016 • 6:00–8:00 PM
Words as a Window to the Unconscious
The words we use reflect our unconscious thoughts and feelings. The things we say can enhance our relationships or undermine them. We will look at Freudian slips, accidental puns, and word associations to demonstrate the consequences of allowing our feelings to control our words. Are our words helping us achieve our goals or are they gratifying destructive feelings?
