» » » THE ADVANTAGES OF JUNGIAN ANALYSIS
A Jungian approach to life’s problems focuses on helping you to fulfill your true potential in life - what Jung referred to as Individuation. This approach may include dream interpretation, art work, journaling, and spiritual development. In this way it differs from most other more traditional approaches to counseling and therapy.
Jung conceived personality to be organized around the Self, which is both the centre of wholeness and individuality and wholeness itself. The principle task therefore is to become reconnected with the Self, from which we have become separated through our own personal history and societal pressures.
This means getting in touch with who we are at the core of our being, beyond the roles we may fulfill in life such as parent, child, sibling or employee. Jung also realized that a life without a spiritual dimension is often behind the sense of alienation many people feel within society today.
Jungian therapy will be of particular interest to those who are:
- Experiencing anxiety or depression
- Needing to take a step back and look at life from a different perspective
- Experiencing a loss of personal meaning in life
- Anticipating or experiencing a change in their personal or professional lives
- Exploring a decision, opportunity or challenge
- Wanting to discover a spiritual path in life
- Exploring their sexual identity
- Recovering from emotional or physical abuse
- Experiencing envy or jealousy
These are just some of the issues that bring men and women into therapy. Each individual’s path in life is unique however, and each person is approached accordingly.
