Idealisation and Denigration

Idealisation and denigration are aspects of human functioning that we find in every aspect of daily life and often they go unnoticed. But both can lead to behaviours that can be most unhelpful.
Any one who is idealised is at a chance of being denigrated and the other way around.
Fairytales can put us in touch with this often subconscious way of relating to one another and they can mirror to us the feelings that are provoked.
Being with another person without resorting to either idealisation or denigration to some degree, is a developmental challenge and fairytales can assist us on that journey.
