SUMMARY:BBL: Working with Envy\,  the Green-Eyed Monster  in the Treatment Room
DESCRIPTION:with Imke Oster\, BSc\, MALD\, MBA \nBrown Bag Lunch Series \n\nWednesday\, December 11\, 2025 \n12:00 – 1:00pm \nOn Zoom – 1 CE \nNo charge for workshop attendance. \n$17 administrative fee for each CE certificate. \n“Working with Envy\, the Green-Eyed Monster in the Treatment Room”\nEnvy is one of the seven deadly sins\, yet this emotion is experienced by nearly everyone at some point in their lives. As with all emotions\, there is a broad spectrum of how malignant or benign those feelings are. \nDespite the frequency of envy as a driving force in the maturation process\, little is written about the effect of this personality type on the therapeutic process. This workshop investigates how different schools of thought identify envy\, its origins in one’s psyche\, and ways a person’s life can be impacted by these powerful impulses. I will share a case demonstrating the way envy’s dominance shaped a patient’s life choices and relationships. We will then explore how\, using specific Modern Psychoanalytic interventions\, an effective treatment approach can be designed. \n  \nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe some ways different psychological and psychoanalytic schools of thought define envy.\nArticulate the consensus about the psychic and environmental origins of envy.\nRecognize the cascade of defenses utilized by the envious person to protect their fragile ego from devastating interpersonal comparisons\, and recognize envy as a defense in itself.\nIdentify common countertransference resistances that emerge when working with the envious character.\nDesign at least 3 effective intervention strategies for successfully working with envious characters.\n\n\nImke Oster is completing her psychoanalytic training at ACAP\, in Livingston\, NJ\, and is a therapist at their North Jersey Consultation Center. Prior to becoming a clinician\, Imke worked in strategic management consulting and economic development. She co-founded a legal outsourcing firm\, and later sold it when shifting to the clinical mental health field. Imke also works as an executive coach\, combining her 25-year business experience and psychoanalytic training. She serves on various Boards\, but most relevant to the mental health setting she is Vice Chair of the Board of the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City. \nImke Oster\, BSc\, MALD\, MBA \ni@imkeoster.com \n  \nFor questions or information email Cassio Campello at events@acapnj.org \nFor CE Information- visit our website\, https://acapnj.org/ce-information/ \nThere is a $17.00 Fee for CE Certification processing. \n  \nCounselors\, Art Therapists\, Marriage/Family Counselors\, LPC’s \nSocial Workers \nNJ Psychoanalysts \nNY Creative Art Therapists \nPsychologists \nNurses \n
