The Fantasy Bond Explained: A Free Webinar Event with Dr. Lisa Firestone

Posted on by Lisa Firestone, Ph.D.

Defining the Fantasy Bond

This video, featuring exclusive interview clips with Dr. Lisa Firestone and Dr. Robert Firestone, will give you a brief understanding of what it means to be in a Fantasy Bond and how to identify if you suffer from a Fantasy Bond in your own intimate relationship.

This Webinar presents a model for an ideal relationship that combines emotional closeness and sexual intimacy, while each partner maintains a differentiated and individuated sense of self. Dr. Firestone will discuss characteristics of a relationship in which a fantasy bond has developed verses an ideal relationship.
