Psychalive Presents: Dr. Robert Firestone on The Fantasy Bond

Dr. Robert Firestone discusses the fantasy bond. The fantasy bond is a form of self-parenting and self-protection that offers an illusion of pseudo-independence at the expense of real relating.

you heal yourself and move towards developing a strong sense of self..no longer needing to feed off the fantasy or off the other....but moreso learning how to face and move through your own anxiety...with a growing sense of trust,safe and alot of self care

does Fantasy Bonds relate to the development of Borderline Personality?

I thought the days of blaming the child were over. Apparently not. He needs to acknowledge enmeshment which is usually initiated by the parent and imposed on the child.

There is no blaming of a child in here, dumbass. Everything in here is just him talking about when things are started.
