Jungian Psychology: A Path to Wholeness
The Jungian therapeutic process is centered around individuation—a journey toward personal wholeness and individuality. Jung understood that the unconscious mind holds valuable information about your inner world, which can guide you toward greater fulfillment. This includes not only confronting your fears and shadow material but also discovering hidden strengths, passions, and creative potential.
What You Can Expect as a Client
As a client working within this framework you’ll experience a blend of therapeutic techniques that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Sessions are a supportive space to dive deep into the layers of your psyche, where you’ll:
Explore Dreams and Symbols: Your dreams are rich sources of unconscious material. We’ll work together to explore the symbols that arise in your inner and outer life, helping you gain insights into unresolved conflicts, hidden patterns, and potential paths forward.
Uncover Unconscious Complexes: Many struggles—whether they manifest as anxiety, depression, or difficulties in relationships—stem from unconscious beliefs and emotions that center around an archetypal core and are developed early in life. By identifying and working through these, you’ll have the opportunity to break free from limitations and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Integrate the Shadow: Jung believed that everyone has a “shadow”—the parts of ourselves that we deny, avoid, or reject. Often, these aspects hold valuable energy and potential for growth. Together, we’ll explore your shadow and work toward integrating these hidden parts into your conscious life allowing you to become more whole and authentic.
Discover Activated Archetypes: Archetypes are universal patterns or themes that arise in myths, stories, and within ourselves. Through the lens of Jungian psychology, we’ll explore the archetypal roles and narratives that shape your life and how they can provide guidance on your journey toward self-discovery and integration.
Find Meaning in Life Transitions: Depth psychology views major life transitions—such as career changes, relationship shifts, or personal crises—as opportunities for growth and transformation. We’ll work together to uncover the deeper meaning behind these liminal places, helping you navigate them with greater clarity and purpose.
Integrating Depth with other Therapeutic Approaches
An integrative approach means that Depth Psychology is combined with other therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, EMDR, Brainspotting, and a range of Somatic therapies. This framework allows you to address both the conscious and unconscious aspects of your experience offering a well-rounded path to healing.
While CBT and mindfulness can provide practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, Depth Psychology helps you explore the root causes and unconscious material that often drive these feelings. This dual approach offers a powerful way to create meaningful change in your life.
