Challenging the Fantasy Bond: Interview with co-author Joyce Catlett
An insightful interview with child mental health specialist, Joyce Catlett, about the Fantasy Bond - describes an illusion of connection between a couple that is substituted for feelings of real love and intimacy. Forming a fantasy bond is an often unconscious act of self-parenting and self-protection, in which two people become pseudo-independent, replacing the real relating involved in being in love with the form of being a βcouple.β The degree of reliance on a fantasy bond is proportional to the degree of frustration and pain experienced in a personβs developmental years.
We also discuss the inner critical voice and how to conquer it. Lastly, we discuss how these imaginary connections between parent/child and romantic partners extend into society as a whole. As a society, do we look to a leader for a sense of security that makes us defensive against an "out-group" and is this insecure attachment part of the divisiveness in society today?
