The psyche has an innate movement towards healing throughout our lives and when we are out of balance and too one-sided in our beliefs and our attitude the psyche will try to compensate for that. Often symptoms of depression or anxiety are a result of us adopting a too rigid stance towards the world. This rigidity may take the form of beliefs that we have held for much of our lives that may no longer serve us or may be inaccurate. If we believe we are not capable or worthy of happiness we may eventually becoming burdened with a desire to achieve more, love more etc. and this clash with the old belief system causes turmoil. As together we work to loosen the rigid stance towards our old world view, we create the opportunity for the new world view or new self to emerge and we find slowly our lives will transform.
Jungian psychotherapy helps to explore what is emerging from within the psyche and particularly the unconscious that one may not be understanding or addressing in some way. Through working with relationship issues, creative media, dreams or whatever emerges in each session the therapist and client can begin to discern ways in which change is beckoning from within and how to interpret and apply those changes in one’s life. The goal is to address what has been neglected, or kept in shadow through one’s life. Those aspects of ourselves that are not recognized or given voice can cause us to become rigid or anxious, fearful or too one-sided in our lives. Our most important relationships, and our own selves, can suffer as a result. Our work together will help shift that unbalance, open up the rigid boundaries and see the world and oneself very differently. The unconscious offers us the opportunity for wisdom, joy and passion if we seek to understand its meanings.
