| What is Jungian Therapy?
Jungian psychotherapy is a comprehensive approach to the human
psyche that is based on the psychology of Carl Jung. Jungian psychotherapy
can be effective treatment for a variety of psychological problems
(especially depression and anxiety disorders), but, perhaps more
importantly, it can be used for personal growth after any psychological
symptoms are alleviated.
A number of clients who begin Jungian psychotherapy for the treatment
of a psychological disorder such as depression continue after
the diminishment of their symptoms. They work with their dreams
and other life events of personal-growth reasons.
Jungian psychotherapy offers a safe, supportive environment to
explore the ways in which you can live a fuller, more authentic
lifeone in which your whole self can shine through. Some of the
issues that might bring you to this process include issues with
relationships and/or self-esteem, depression, anxiety, eating
disorders, career and life direction issues, creativity and spiritual
impulses. Because Jungian psychotherapy views the therapeutic
relationship as a partnership, we work together to best understand
and treat symptoms which may be causing distress as well as patterns
and attitudes that may be limiting your sense of self. We also
pay close attention to new directions, including forgotten dreams
and talents, which can enrich your experience of being alive.
During the course of our work, we might use dreamwork, deep listening,
and creative expression as ways to support your own inherent impulses
toward wholeness and greater fulfillment in your own life.
People without diagnosable psychological disorders can benefit
from entering Jungian psychotherapy for personal-growth reasons.
A number of health care professionals (psychotherapists, clergy,
physicians, nurses, etc.) and others have done this over the years.
Using Jungian psychotherapy for personal growth also uses dreamwork
as a core ingredient in moving toward psychological maturity.
Jungian psychotherapy has helped many people discover more meaning
and joy in their lives. If you are interested in Jungian Psychotherapy
for a psychological problem, for personal growth, or if you mainly
want to work with your dreams, this is the place to begin your
journey. |
