We continue our discussion of, “How a woman can heal when fantasy was a part of his acting out behaviors?”

This type of fantasy is more than just an innocent daydream anticipating your upcoming vacation, Patrick Carnes, in his book Out of the Shadows, defines fantasy as, “…the altered [mental] state where anticipation and planning override conscience and consequence.” In other words, this type of fantasy goes against values and ignores the relational consequences that can come if this fantasy is acted out.

We Will be Discussing:

  1. How does comparison play into this scenario for her?
  2. What steps can she take to build her confidence and security in who she is?
  3. What hope can we leave?
