What are "Bonding Patterns"

Bonding patterns are the default setting in relationships; they are the natural settings that are programmed into us at birth. A bonding pattern is the normal and natural way that the baby relates to its mother and the mother relates to the baby; it’s the way in which we give and receive nurturance. If the baby didn’t relate by taking nourishment from the mother and the mother didn’t feel good about giving nourishment to the baby - if there is no bonding - there is trouble. Without this parent/child bonding, the baby doesn’t thrive.

Explain "Energetics of Relationship"

When we think about relationship we think about it on a number of different levels. We think about the physical aspects, the emotional aspects, the mental aspects and the spiritual aspect. There is however another dimension to relationship and that is the energetic reality. We meet someone and there is a feeling we may get about the person – possibly a sense of harmony or a certain kind of vibe that puts us off. We may get all kinds of cues from our body and mind and emotional life and spiritual side but there may also be the experience of the actual energy itself.

Why Dreams?

Dreams provide guidance from within.
This work activates the "inner teacher". As you learn about - and separate from - your individual selves, your own source of deep wisdom becomes available to you through dreams. Learning to understand your dreams and daydreams provides an objective and steady guidance that is particularly valuable in uncertain times.

Bonding Patterns in the Transference?

"Because a facilitator is required to give space to each voice in the other person, we, as facilitators, must be aware of the fact that similar parts in ourselves will be touched upon during a session. Sometimes we embrace those parts and recognize them, but at other times they are our own ‘disowned’ selves. We must be very aware of this, otherwise counter-transference will take place."
