Licensed professional counselor in Pittsburgh, PA. I specialize in infidelity recovery, eating disorders, gambling addiction, and couples therapy.

Chase dreams are among the most common dream structures, and they are not random. The pursuer in your dream often represents something you are avoiding in waking life, a feeling, a conversation, a part of yourself you have not yet faced. Structural dream analysis reveals what the flight is actually about.
ARFID is a serious eating disorder involving food avoidance driven by sensory sensitivity, fear, or low appetite. Learn the DSM-5 definition, who it affects, and when to seek help.
Eating disorders often function as failed individuation attempts, where restriction and control serve deep autonomy needs the person cannot meet directly. When treatment targets only the behavior without understanding its developmental function, recovery stalls because the symptom was doing psychological work the person still needs done.
Anxiety dreams about being late, unprepared, or exposed follow a specific structural pattern. Research on dream analysis shows these dreams reflect performance demand, where the dreaming mind rehearses scenarios of evaluation and inadequacy that mirror waking pressures.
