Bader delves into the complex landscape of honesty in intimate relationships. Drawing from research and clinical experience, she examines the nuanced ways couples deceive each other, from minor "loving lies" to devastating betrayals. Bader explores how differentiation—the ability to authentically express oneself while respecting a partner's separate identity—is crucial for building trust and intimacy. Through case studies and therapeutic techniques, she offers professionals practical strategies for helping couples navigate affairs, overcome deception, and develop the emotional courage to be truly known by one another.
This workshop explores a hands-on, experiential approach to dream work that treats dreams as living metaphors rather than symbols to be interpreted by the therapist. Participants learn how to “decode” dream fragments using language, wordplay, and trance-based attention, allowing meaning to emerge directly from the dreamer’s own responses. Through live demonstrations and audience practice, the session shows how dream exploration can support decision-making, uncover unconscious conflicts, and deepen therapeutic work without imposing interpretation.
