This transformative workshop invites participants to explore trauma recovery through Dream Psychotherapy©, using mythological storytelling and mindful ritual to support growth. Inspired by the story of Psyche and Eros, this workshop offers a structured journey to rebuild trust, embrace pleasure, and cultivate a healthier relationship with sleep.

Participants will engage in curating a personal myth, letter-writing to Eros which will complement their created morning ritual, create a sleep ritual, and engage in a guided meditation by the facilitator.

Participants will also have an opportunity to share their work with other participants towards the end of the workshop. By integrating these tools, participants may enhance their sense of pleasure in dreams in the coming months, which may increase sleep quality, reduce long-term physiological pain, and improve psychological functioning.

This presentation explores the application of Dream Psychotherapy© as an intervention for women aged 22-50 diagnosed with Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) in California and Oregon.

The proposed therapy aims to improve sleep quality, reduce physiological pain, and enhance psychological functioning by addressing symptoms such as distressing dreams and sleep disturbances commonly associated with ASD.

The therapeutic process, spanning over five weeks, includes psychosomatic interventions, dream rescripting, and self-care strategies to foster emotional regulation and resilience.

The program emphasizes the importance of clinician-patient psychosomatic alignment to achieve therapeutic outcomes, highlighting a novel approach to mitigating the effects of acute trauma through dream analysis and structured psychotherapeutic sessions.
