What is Jungian Analysis?

Jungian Analysis is a type of talk therapy that focuses on helping you understand yourself more completely, not just by talking about your daily life and struggles but also by exploring the deeper parts of your psyche, the invisible parts you might not be completely aware of yet. Think of it as going on an adventure to discover hidden treasures inside.

In this most powerful form of talk therapy, studying your dreams is an important part of the process. Dreams are like messages from somewhere deep in your psyche, showing you aspects of yourself you may not have realized were there. We work together to figure out what these dreams might mean and how they meaningfully connect to your life.

Also, Jungian Analysis believes that we all share common ideas and feelings inside of ourselves, a kind of shared human experience. Somewhat ironically, by learning to understand these commonalities, we learn more about how our uniqueness, our individual selves, fits into the labyrinth of life.

The goal of Jungian Analysis is to help you feel more balanced and whole. Many of us start analysis with our pieces apart, like a puzzle on the kitchen table. Through the process of our work, the pieces come together and form an evermore clear picture. The more you understand about yourself, the more complete the picture becomes. This healing process helps you feel at peace and confident in who you are and where you came from and therefore better able to deal with life's inevitable challenges.
