Into the Darkest Places

More about the book

Focusing on the impact of early relational trauma, the book delves into the complexities of borderline states of mind and the necessity of confronting deep-seated issues for healing. It addresses the challenges faced during analysis, where patients may resist revisiting painful experiences, leading to potential breakdowns in the therapeutic relationship. By integrating insights from attachment, relational, and trauma theories, the author emphasizes the importance of maintaining an analytic attitude to facilitate acceptance and wholeness, while also expanding on Freud's and Jung's foundational concepts.
