60 Working psychoanalytically you learn how to suspend your judgements, hold them lightly, watch them change … you come to see more of the other in yourself. You become a more compassionate person.
Introduction to PSYCHOANALYSIS with Dr Orna Guralnik The human mind is multilayered. The conscious mind and the thoughts we are aware of are the tip of an iceberg of vast mental operations that define how we experience our lives. Our conscious mind is fuelled by deep and mysterious unconscious processes that are hidden below the surface, yet are the most important source of our being and thinking. These include our earliest histories, trans-generational legacies, and the cultural contexts within which we become individuals. Sigmund Freud first popularised the theory of psychoanalysis in the early 1900s. Since then, we have continued to delve deeper into our minds, seeking to unearth an ever more comprehensive understanding of the self. Intrigued to go further? Take the plunge with leading clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr Orna Guralnik. You may already be familiar with Dr Guralnik from the docuseries Couples Therapy, but if you’re new to the fascinating, intangible, intense subject of psychoanalysis then this is your chance to learn more. Jump into the magnificently messy minds of our human species with this workshop led by Dr Guralnik — exclusively for Centurion. 61
