SUMMARY:BBL: Working With What Resists:  Supporting Symptoms\, Aggression\, and Psychic Regulation in the Therapeutic Alliance
DESCRIPTION:with Cassio Campello\, MD\, LPC \nWednesday\, May 13th\, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST \nOn Zoom Only – 1 CE \nParticipation is FREE \n$17 Admin Fee for each CE \nRegistration closes MAY 13TH at 10:00 AM EST \n\n\nIn clinical practice\, symptoms are often treated as problems to eliminate. Modern Psychoanalytic and neuropsychoanalytic perspectives suggest something different: symptoms may be organized\, adaptive efforts to regulate internal experience and preserve psychological balance. \nThis presentation examines how symptoms\, resistance\, and aggression function both within the patient and the therapeutic relationship—and how therapists may inadvertently reinforce the very patterns they hope to transform. Through clinical vignettes\, we will see how familiar interventions such as reassurance\, clarification\, or even silence can sustain dynamics like ambivalence\, dependency\, and narcissistic transference—often serving as the patient’s attempt to manage overwhelming or destabilizing feelings. \nDrawing on contemporary theory and clinical process\, this talk reframes resistance as protective\, aggression as organizing\, and the therapist as a steady\, responsive partner in the patient’s capacity for self-regulation. Emphasis is placed on working patiently with symptoms\, supporting rather than disrupting defensive structures\, and fostering the conditions for deeper\, more sustainable change to emerge. \nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify symptoms as regulatory processes that sustain psychic balance\, not just as pathological issues.\nExplain the role of aggression in organizing intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamics.\nDescribe resistance as a possible protective mechanism that preserves the patient’s existing regulatory system.\nRecognize ways in which therapist interventions may inadvertently maintain or reinforce symptomatic patterns.\n\n\nMeet your speaker: Cassio Campello\, MD\, LPC\nCassio Campello\, MD\, LPC\, is a psychoanalytic clinician and educator with extensive experience integrating neuroscience\, affect regulation\, and psychotherapy.
